• Kraken's Brandon Montour: One of each in win

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Montour scored a goal on five shots, added an assist, logged two PIM and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Predators. Montour ended a four-game slump when he helped out on a Daniel Sprong goal in the second period. Montour would then score for the first time since his Oct. 29 hat trick in Montreal in the first minute of the third period. The defenseman's quiet November is a small concern, but he's playing big minutes in a top-four role and should see premium power-play usage until Vince Dunn (upper body) is ready to return. Montour has five goals, 13 points, 63 shots on net, 31 hits, 21 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a plus-7 rating over 19 appearances, offering well-rounded production for fantasy.

• Kraken's Brandon Montour: Helps out in overtime

  14D ago • By RotoWire

  Montour notched an assist, two PIM, three blocked shots, four hits and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights. Montour has a helper in each of the last two contests, though he's also taken five penalties over his last six games. The defenseman sprung Jared McCann for a breakaway on the game-winning goal in overtime. Montour is fitting right in as a top-four blueliner for the Kraken, earning 11 points, 45 shots on net, 27 hits, 18 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a plus-5 rating through 14 appearances.

• Kraken's Brandon Montour: Pockets helper in loss

  17D ago • By RotoWire

  Montour notched an assist, two shots on goal and two PIM in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche. The helper was Montour's first point in three games since he returned to the team following a one-game absence for the birth of his daughter. Montour set up Matty Beniers' third-period tally. Through 13 appearances this season, Montour has four goals, six assists, 44 shots on net, 23 hits, 15 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a plus-3 rating. He was on the top pairing Tuesday, but he should be a strong source of all-around production in fantasy regardless of his placement in the lineup.

• Kraken's Brandon Montour: Good to go

  21D ago • By RotoWire

  Montour (personal) will play Saturday against Ottawa, according to Kraken TV broadcaster Piper Shaw. Montour missed Thursday's 4-1 loss to Toronto to attend the birth of his daughter. The 30-year-old blueliner has accumulated four goals, nine points, 33 shots on net, 11 blocked shots and 19 hits through 10 appearances this season. Montour's return to a top-four role and a spot on the first power-play unit will likely bump Cale Fleury from Saturday's lineup.

• Kraken's Brandon Montour: Nabs assist Thursday

  29D ago • By RotoWire

  Montour logged an assist and two hits in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Jets. Montour led all Kraken skaters with 26:52 of ice time. The 30-year-old is picking up a lot of the slack created in the absence of Vince Dunn (upper body), including on the power play. Montour is up to one goal, four assists, 29 shots on net, 13 hits, seven blocked shots, six PIM and a plus-3 rating through eight contests. Any concerns about his offense declining with his move from Florida to Seattle have yet to be a factor, and Montour should continue to be productive while serving as the Kraken's de facto No. 1 blueliner.
