Mahura scored a goal and added three hits in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Maple Leafs.

Mahura snapped a five-game point drought with his first goal in over year. He last scored Oct. 18, 2025, also against the Maple Leafs. The defenseman has three points, seven shots on net, 12 hits, 11 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 10 outings this season. Mahura looks set to play regularly at least until Ryan Lindgren (upper body) comes off injured reserve.

Evans scored a goal on two shots, dished out five hits, blocked two shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Maple Leafs.

Evans turned in another gem of an all-around effort for fantasy managers. The 24-year-old has a point in four of the last five games and has solidified his place in the Kraken's top four with his steady play. He's at three goals, seven points, 12 shots on net, 24 hits, 17 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 13 appearances this season.

Montour scored a goal, doled out three hits and went plus-3 in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Maple Leafs.

Montour tallied the game-winning goal with 33 seconds left in the third period. The defenseman has three goals and two assists during his active four-game point streak. Overall, he's produced 10 points, 21 shots on net, 18 blocked shots, 14 hits, 27 PIM and a plus-6 rating through 12 outings. Montour's top-four role is secure, as his power-play time, making him a reliable all-around option in fantasy.

Catton scored a goal and added two PIM in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Maple Leafs.

Catton extended his point streak to five games (two goals, four assists) when he tallied 1:59 into the contest. The 20-year-old center continues to impress in a middle-six role, and his strong play early this year has elevated the team's offense. He has four goals, six helpers, 24 shots on net and a plus-3 rating through 13 appearances.

Stephenson scored a power-play goal and added an assist in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Maple Leafs.

Stephenson's hot start has cooled off -- prior to Wednesday, he had earned just one assist over his last four games. The 32-year-old is still in position to succeed for a Seattle team that has overachieved early in the campaign. He's up to two goals, nine assists, nine shots on net, five blocked shots, 10 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 13 appearances. Stephenson will continue to play in a middle-six role and on the power play.

Grubauer stopped 17 of 21 shots in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Maple Leafs.

Grubauer squandered a two-goal lead during the third period, but Brandon Montour's goal in the final minute bailed the goalie out. This was Grubauer's third win in a row, but he has allowed 10 goals on 81 shots in that span. He's up to a 5-1-1 record with a 2.93 GAA and an .897 save percentage across eight outings (seven starts) this season. While the wins are nice, Grubauer is often a shaky-at-best option for fantasy managers, especially if fortunes turn sour for the Kraken. Their next game is a favorable road matchup in Calgary on Friday.

Brown scored twice, including once while shorthanded, in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Brown has earned three points, six shots on net and a plus-3 rating over five games since he recovered from a lower-body injury that cost him more than two weeks to start the season. The 32-year-old winger has occupied a fourth-line role primarily, though he gets more usage when the Devils need to protect a lead. Brown has some deep-league fantasy appeal as a depth scorer, but his current role makes his production too unpredictable to trust in standard formats.

Allen stopped 39 of 44 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche.

This was a tough assignment for Allen, as he had to handle the second half of a road back-to-back against a tough offense. The 36-year-old did a fair job, but the Avalanche pulled away in the third period. Allen is down to 5-3-0 with a 3.11 GAA and an .886 save percentage across eight starts. His time as the Devils' starter is over with Connor Hellebuyck poised to take the reins moving forward. Expect Allen to see usage in line with a traditional backup.

Roy logged an assist in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Devils.

Roy was sidelined for six games due to a lower-body injury. The 29-year-old returned to a second-line role at even strength, playing alongside Brock Nelson and Gabriel Landeskog. Roy could get a bump in offense if he sticks there for the long run. He's already earned five points, 10 shots on net, 10 hits and a plus-1 rating across seven outings this season.

Malinski logged two assists, three shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Devils.

This was Malinski's first multi-point effort of the year. He's picked up three helpers over his last two contests, and he's doing that with next to nothing in terms of power-play ice time. The defenseman has five helpers, 14 shots on net, 19 blocked shots, nine hits and a plus-9 rating across 12 appearances this season.
