Kakko scored a goal on three shots and added five hits in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche.

The goal was Kakko's first in three games as a member of the Kraken. Matty Beniers won a faceoff and Kakko released a quick shot through the legs of the official to surprise Mackenzie Blackwood, though the Avalanche replied with a goal of their own just 11 seconds later to tie the score at 2-2. Kakko's role hasn't changed much since he was dealt from the Rangers -- while he was listed on the Kraken's top line Sunday, his 14:41 of ice time indicates he's still viewed as a middle-six winger. Kakko has 15 points, 50 shots on net, 32 hits and a plus-8 rating over 33 appearances in 2024-25.

McCann scored a goal on two shots and went minus-2 in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche.

McCann finished a tic-tac-toe play at 17:55 of the first period, burying a goal from close range to tie the game at 1-1. The 28-year-old has struggled with just four points over 11 outings in December. He's been shuffled onto a line with Shane Wright and Yanni Gourde, who assisted on McCann's goal. McCann is at 12 tallies, 27 points, 92 shots on net, 25 blocked shots, 18 hits and a plus-2 rating over 36 contests this season. It's important for the Kraken to get his offense back on track as he's generally been one of their most consistent forwards.

Daccord stopped 24 of 27 shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche. The last two goals were empty-netters.

Daccord has now lost four straight outings, giving up 10 goals while going 0-3-1 in that span. He kept the Kraken close in this one, making a couple of big saves to keep the deficit at one goal. Daccord is now 12-9-2 with a 2.51 GAA and a .912 save percentage through 23 starts. His numbers are similar to last year, but he'll have to get out of his current rut to gain more trust in fantasy. The Kraken's next game is a somewhat challenging road matchup in Vancouver on Saturday.

Kelly logged an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Kelly made the generous choice, feeding Joel Kiviranta on the Avalanche's second empty-netter to complete the latter's hat trick. The 25-year-old Kelly has five points over 11 outings in December while seeing steady third-line usage. It's not a role that leads to consistent offense, but he has a little depth scoring in his game. For the season, the center has three goals, six helpers, 42 shots on net, 67 hits, 33 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 36 contests.

Rantanen posted two assists, including one on the power play, in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Kraken.

Rantanen set up Cale Makar's first-period goal and also fed Joel Kiviranta on the game-winner at 12:01 of the second. This performance extended Rantanen's point streak to nine games, a span in which he has record four goals and 13 assists. For the season, the superstar winger is up to 52 points -- tied for second in the league with Leon Draisaitl -- while adding 96 shots on net, 23 blocked shots, 22 PIM, 21 hits and a plus-4 rating over 36 outings.

MacKinnon notched two assists, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Kraken.

MacKinnon helped out on Cale Makar's power-play goal in the first period, and he generated a rebound for Valeri Nichushkin to bury in the middle frame. This was MacKinnon's third straight multi-point effort. The center has racked up five goals and 11 assists over his last seven outings, though he hasn't had a point streak longer than three games since opening the year on a 13-game heater. While there's been the occasional goose egg on his ledger, the superstar leads the league with 57 points (18 on the power play) while adding 138 shots on net, 32 blocked shots, 20 hits, 20 PIM and a plus-6 rating through 36 appearances.

Nichushkin scored a goal on four shots in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Kraken.

Nichushkin scored for the fourth game in a row, offering a quick response to tie the game just 11 seconds after Kaapo Kakko gave the Kraken a lead. The 29-year-old Nichushkin is up to 11 tallies, 16 points, 46 shots on net, 16 hits and a plus-2 rating over 19 contests. The winger continues to thrive on the top line and should be rostered in virtually all fantasy formats given his spot in a strong offense.

Makar scored a power-play goal on seven shots, dished two assists, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Kraken.

Makar opened the scoring at 10:05 of the first period and helped out on two of Joel Kiviranta's three tallies in the game. This was Makar's third multi-point effort in a row and his third three-point performance this season. The superstar defenseman has two goals and seven assists during a five-game point streak. For the season, he's at 11 goals, 34 helpers, 19 power-play points, 114 shots on net, 51 blocked shots, 30 hits and a plus-7 rating through 36 appearances.

Kiviranta recorded a natural hat trick and fired five shots on net in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Kraken.

Kiviranta had the last three goals of the game, two of which were empty-netters. The winger has scored five times over the last three contests, giving him career highs with 10 goals and 12 points in just 36 outings this season. He's added 46 shots on net, 54 hits and a plus-7 rating. Kiviranta typically doesn't have a lot of scoring upside, but he's worth a look in deep formats as long as he's wielding a hot stick.

Blackwood stopped 17 of 19 shots in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Kraken.

The Kraken didn't have a lot in the tank, playing the second half of a back-to-back after losing 6-2 in Vegas on Saturday. They still cashed in a couple of times, but Blackwood did just enough to earn his third win in four starts since he was dealt to the Avalanche from the Sharks. The 28-year-old is now 9-10-3 with a 2.83 GAA and a .914 save percentage though 23 appearances. The Avalanche resume their schedule after the holiday break with a road game in Utah on Friday.
