Bobrovsky stopped 12 of 17 shots in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Kraken.

Bobrovsky has had a few shaky performances this season, but this was as bad as it's been. He's lost both of his starts during the Maple Leafs' current road trip. The 38-year-old netminder is now at a 3-5-2 record with a 3.29 GAA and an .885 save percentage over 10 starts. Toronto paid up to get Bobrovsky on a three-year, $21 million contract in the summer, but the early returns haven't matched the price tag. The Maple Leafs wrap up this trip in Vancouver on Saturday.

Samoskevich registered two assists in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Maple Leafs.

Samoskevich has been steady lately, earning two goals and two assists over his last four games. The 23-year-old forward is seeing middle-six minutes with the Kraken, including a steady power-play role. He's up to five goals, three helpers, 19 shots on net, 10 hits, six blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 12 appearances. Samoskevich will likely get a chance to help fill the void created by the long-term absence of Jared McCann (lower body).

Beniers notched two assists, including one on the power play, and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Maple Leafs.

Beniers helped out on Chandler Stephenson's power-play tally in the second period as well as Brandon Montour's game-winner late in the third. This was Beniers' first multi-point effort since Opening Night versus the Flames. The 23-year-old center has three goals, four helpers, 13 shots on net, nine hits, nine blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 13 contests in a top-six role to start the campaign.

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.
