Shesterkin will protect the home net against Carolina on Sunday, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports.

Shesterkin is coming off a 41-save performance in Friday's 3-1 win over Dallas. He has posted a record of 11-12-1 with one shutout, a 2.95 GAA and a .912 save percentage across 24 appearances this season. Carolina ranks fourth in the league with 3.53 goals per game in 2024-25.

Lycksell was assigned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Sunday.

Lycksell played in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over Columbus, posting three shots on goal in 10:58 of ice time. He has nine goals and 24 points in 25 AHL appearances this season. Lycksell's demotion to the minors could bode well for the availability of Sean Couturier (personal) for Monday's game versus Pittsburgh.

Wright notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Wright has three goals and five assists over 10 contests in December. The 20-year-old center set up a Jaden Schwartz tally in the third period. Wright is getting more comfortable in his middle-six role and now has 15 points (six on the power play), 31 shots on net, 20 hits, 22 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 32 appearances this season.

Bjorkstrand logged a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Bjorkstrand set up Vince Dunn's tally at 2:34 of the first period to open the scoring. The helper was Bjorkstrand's 200th career assist, a mark he reached in his 579th appearance. The winger has arguably been the Kraken's best forward in December with five goals and five assists over 10 games this month. He's at 24 points (six on the power play), 75 shots on net, 37 hits and a plus-3 rating over 34 contests this season.

Stephenson produced a pair of power-play assists and went minus-2 in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Stephenson had a positive performance against his former team, but the Kraken as a whole couldn't say the same. The 30-year-old center is up to three goals, 20 assists, 13 power-play points, 32 shots on net and a minus-12 rating over 34 outings this season. Stephenson's first helper Saturday was the 200th of his career, a mark he reached in his 529th game.

Schwartz scored a power-play goal on two shots and went minus-2 in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Schwartz has been limited to two goals over his last seven contests, but he had a five-game point streak prior to this poorer stretch of play. The 32-year-old winger is up to nine goals, 20 points (five on the power play), 73 shots on net, 23 hits, 20 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 35 appearances. He continues to play in a top-six role, so he could be a solid depth forward in fantasy.

Dunn scored a power-play goal, blocked two shots and went minus-3 in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Dunn ended a three-game slump with the tally. He's gone minus-8 over his last four contests, a span in which the Kraken have gotten outscored 17-4. Dunn plays big minutes on the top pairing, so it's natural his plus-minus will take a hit when the team struggles. The defenseman more than makes up for it with offense -- he has five goals, six assists and 35 shots on net through 15 appearances in 2024-25, including four power-play points.

Grubauer gave up five goals on 33 shots in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.

Grubauer lost for the fourth time in his last six outings, and he's given up at least four goals in four of those games. Vegas got to him early with three goals in the first period before pouring on some more in the final frame. The 33-year-old netminder is down to 3-10-0 with a 3.63 GAA and an .877 save percentage over 13 contests. The Kraken are struggling to support their goalies with offense, but Grubauer hasn't done his part to keep things close lately. Joey Daccord is likely to start Sunday in Colorado.

McNabb notched an assist, three shots on goal, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.

McNabb ended an 11-game point drought when he helped out on Keegan Kolesar's first-period tally. Through 33 appearances, McNabb hasn't come close to replicating his 26-point 2023-24 regular season. He has four points, 43 shots on net, 53 hits, 80 blocked shots and a plus-17 rating in 2024-25, serving as a strong defensive presence in a top-four role.

Pearson put up an assist in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.

Pearson ended his five-game point drought when he helped out on a Noah Hanifin goal in the third period. The 32-year-old Pearson has been good in a bottom-six role this season with 12 points, 37 shots on net, 41 hits, 20 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 33 outings. That production doesn't fly off the page -- Pearson's a steady winger who can add depth scoring, but his fantasy appeal is limited.
