Larsson scored a goal on three shots, blocked three shots and added two PIM in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Devils.

Larsson has two goals over his last four games after going 15 contests without scoring. The 33-year-old defenseman had two assists in that span, but the bulk of his work comes from his physical and defensive play. He's up to 11 points, 50 shots on net, 100 blocks, 64 hits, 26 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 45 outings on the Kraken's top pairing.

Wilsby is day-to-day with a lower-body injury, Alex Daugherty of The Tennessean reports Thursday.

Wilsby is questionable for Friday's tilt in Colorado. The defenseman snapped a 10-game scoring drought Tuesday with an assist in a 4-3 loss in Edmonton. Wilsby has a goal and six assists in 36 games this season. If he is unable to play Friday, look for Nicolas Hague (illness) to possibly enter the lineup.

Dahlin scored two power-play goals in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.

The star blueliner potted Buffalo's first and fourth goals of the night, both on lasers from the high slot. Dahlin doubled his power-play goal total on the season in the process, and through 41 games this season he's produced six goals and 32 points with 110 shots on net, 54 blocked shots, 39 PIM, 32 hits and a minus-13 rating.

Montour (hand) will be a game-time call in Boston on Thursday, Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network reports.

Montour was injured Dec. 16 against the Avalanche and has missed the last 14 contests. Montour had six goals, 10 assists, 34 hits and 35 blocked shots over 27 games before he suffered the hand injury. He will need to be activated off injured reserve once he's cleared to return to the lineup.

Head coach John Hynes said Thursday that he anticipates that Bogosian (undisclosed) will be able to return at some point during the Wild's upcoming three-game road trip, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Bogosian has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Jets, but his return appears to be imminent. Minnesota's upcoming road trip begins Saturday in Buffalo and runs through Tuesday in Montreal, and while it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for all three road matchups, his absence will likely come to an end after approximately two weeks. Over his three appearances leading up to his absence, he recorded two assists, two hits and two PIM while averaging 14:48 of ice time.

Brodin (lower body) is week-to-week, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports Thursday.

Brodin could miss the Olympics, as he was named to Team Sweden in December. The defenseman has been bothered by this injury since December, when he sat out four games. Brodin has three goals and 15 points with 91 blocked shots across 42 appearances this season. Look for David Spacek to enter the lineup in place of Brodin.

Hughes recorded two assists, including one on the power play, in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over Seattle.

The 22-year-old blueliner had a hand in two Nico Hischier tallies, including the overtime winner. Hughes has three two-point efforts in the last eight games, and on the season, he's contributed five goals and 26 points in 47 contests, putting him on pace to top 40 points for a third straight year.

Severson (illness) is available for Thursday's game against the Canucks, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Severson missed Tuesday's game against Calgary due to an illness, but he'll be back in action following a minimal absence. Across his last 11 appearances, he's recorded a goal, seven assists, 16 blocked shots, 10 PIM and four hits while averaging 20:55 of ice time.

Dunn picked up two assists, including one on the power play, in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Devils.

It's the third multi-point performance in the last five games for Dunn. The 29-year-old blueliner had a quiet start to the season, but over his last 17 appearances, he has delivered two goals and 13 points, with most of that production (one goal and nine assists) coming on the power play. His 15 power-play points on the season are already just one shy of the career high he set in 2023-24.

Chychrun (illness) is available for Thursday's game against San Jose, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Chychrun missed the last two games due to an illness, but he's been cleared to return for Thursday's home matchup. Over his eight appearances leading up to his absence, he recorded a goal, three assists, 13 blocked shots, four hits and four PIM while averaging 23:18 of ice time.
