Daccord will tend the road twine versus the Flames on Thursday, per Sound of Hockey.
Daccord will get the nod for the season opener as he tries to bounce back from a down year. He went 20-20-6 with a 3.03 GAA and an .896 save percentage over 47 appearances in 2025-26. Should Daccord struggle again in 2026-27, Philipp Grubauer could push to make Seattle's crease an even rotation of starts.

Kraken's Joey Daccord: Picks up shootout win
Rotowire
Daccord stopped 31 of 34 shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Golden Knights.
The Kraken rallied from two goals down in the third period. Daccord stayed strong after that, and he turned aside four of the Golden Knights' five shootout attempts to secure the win, his first since March 15 versus the Panthers. The 29-year-old's poor end to the season has taken the Kraken out of realistic playoff contention, but they did a good job to still have an impact on the race. Daccord is now 20-20-6 with a 3.03 GAA and an .896 save percentage over 47 appearances. The Kraken's next game is Saturday versus the Flames.

Rotowire
Daccord allowed six goals on 31 shots in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Mammoth.
The Kraken jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first period, but the Mammoth got one goal back in that frame, then scored twice in the second and thrice in the third to run away with the game. This was a tough loss for Daccord and the Kraken, as it makes their path to the playoffs all that much harder. He's allowed 16 goals while going 0-3-1 over his last four outings, and he's down to 19-19-6 with a 3.00 GAA and an .897 save percentage over 44 appearances this season.
