Kraken's Justin Schultz: Notches helper in win
Schultz posted a power-play assist in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Wild.
Schultz snapped a four-game point drought with the helper. The veteran defenseman posted 26 points (10 on the power play), 100 shots on net, 68 blocked shots and a minus-23 rating over 70 appearances this season. He is the lone pending unrestricted free agent among the Kraken's blueliners, and there's a decent chance he won't be brought back as the team begins to integrate more prospects in 2024-25.

Schultz scored a goal on five shots, added a power-play assist, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Coyotes.
Schultz has five points over his last five outings. The 33-year-old defenseman has struggled to put up steady offense for much of the season outside of the last couple of weeks.

Schultz's place in the lineup is likely safe as long as Vince Dunn (upper body) remains out.
