    Flames' Morgan Frost: Mixed results Saturday

    Frost scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Kraken.

Frost's already making himself comfortable against the Kraken -- he has two goals in two games against the Flames' division rivals since he was acquired via trade from the Flyers. Those are all of his points for Calgary, and the 25-year-old is at 13 goals, 27 points, 98 shots on net, 40 blocked shots, 40 hits and a minus-13 rating over 54 appearances.

  • Nazem Kadri C | COL

    Flames' Nazem Kadri: Buries goal in overtime loss

    Kadri scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Kraken.

    Kadri's third-period tally stretched the Flames' lead to 2-0, but they couldn't hold it. The center is on a roll with four goals and seven assists over his last 10 outings, including six points during an active five-game streak. For the season, the 34-year-old has 19 goals, 40 points, 183 shots on net, 57 PIM and a minus-15 rating across 55 outings in a top-six role.

Stephenson is up to 40 points (10 goals, 30 assists), 57 shots on net, 33 blocked shots, 24 hits, 22 PIM and a minus-8 rating through 56 appearances. It took him some time to settle into Seattle's system, but Stephenson has been pretty steady since the start of January.

  • Kraken's Matty Beniers: Completes comeback win in overtime

    Beniers scored a power-play goal on two shots and added two blocked shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Flames.

    Beniers tallied at 2:58 of overtime to complete the Kraken's comeback win, cashing in on Morgan Frost's holding penalty. This was Beniers' second goal over the last three games, and he's racked up six tallies and three helpers across his last 14 outings.

  • Shane Wright C | SEA

    Kraken's Shane Wright: Fuels comeback with two points

    Wright scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Flames.

    Wright got the Kraken on the board at 13:12 of the third period, and he set up Andre Burakovsky's tying tally a couple of minutes later. With nine points over the last eight contests, Wright is one of the Kraken's hottest forwards right now. The 21-year-old center has settled in on the third line and is playing up to his lofty No. 4 draft position in 2022 despite averaging 13:32 of ice time per game. Wright is at 12 goals, 19 helpers, 56 shots on net, 41 hits, 39 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 54 appearances this season.

  • Sharks' Ty Dellandrea: Earns helper against old team

    Dellandrea logged an assist, two hits and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Stars.

    Dellandrea got on the scoresheet against his former team, but the Stars were far stronger on the whole. This was his second game back after missing four contests due to an upper-body injury. The 24-year-old forward is up to six points, 28 shots on net, 102 hits, 31 PIM, 31 blocked shots and a minus-17 rating over 43 outings in a bottom-six role this season.

  • Sharks' Andrew Poturalski: Snags helper in loss

    Poturalski registered an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Stars.

    Poturalski earned his first point in three NHL appearances this season. He's added five shots on net and four blocked shots while filling the second-line center role in the absence of Alexander Wennberg (upper body). The helper was Poturalski's first NHL point since the 2021-22 campaign, when he had two helpers over two games with the Hurricanes. He's always been a high-scoring forward in the AHL, but it's never really translated in limited usage in the NHL. He'll have to sustain offense over a longer stretch to be a fantasy option, which could be tough in the Sharks' lineup.

  • Will Smith C | SJ

    Sharks' Will Smith: Posts helper in loss

    Smith notched an assist, two blocked shots and two PIM in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Stars.

    Smith has two goals and six helpers over his last nine outings. The 19-year-old forward set up a Fabian Zetterlund tally in the second period. Smith started slow this season, but he's really settled in as a top-six option for the Sharks. He's at 23 points, 68 shots on net and a minus-9 rating across 49 appearances in his rookie campaign.

  • Sharks' Macklin Celebrini: Manages helper in loss

    Celebrini notched an assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Stars.

    Celebrini enters the break for the 4 Nations Face-Off with eight points over his last eight outings. He provided an early assist Saturday, setting up William Eklund's tally just 1:25 into the contest. For the season, Celebrini has 17 goals and 23 assists, making him the second rookie to reach the 40-point mark behind Montreal's Lane Hutson (41), though Celebrini's played in 10 fewer games through Saturday's action. The standout center has added 150 shots on net, 32 blocked shots and a minus-20 rating.
