Joey Daccord was stellar between the pipes for the Kraken Monday, turning aside all 35 shots faced in a 3-0 shutout victory over the Golden Knights.
Fantasy Impact: Daccord is in the midst of an impressive stretch guarding the crease of late, allowing two goals or less in each of his last four starts (4-0-0, .971 save percentage) in net for the Kraken. Fantasy managers can continue to trust the netminder when called upon despite a lack of consistent goal support, posting a .919 save percentage and 2.35 GAA in 23 appearances (9-5-8) between the pipes for the Kraken so far this season.

Yanni Gourde was able to light the lamp for the Kraken Monday, scoring one goal in a 3-0 shutout win over the Golden Knights.
Fantasy Impact: Gourde has struggled to make much of an impact in the offensive zone of late for the Kraken, picking up points in just two of his last five games for the Kraken. The 32-year-old is a gritty two-way option with sneaky goal-scoring upside, tallying just 14 points (five goals, nine assists) in 38 games so far this season.

Martin Jones stood tall in net for the Kraken Thursday night, stopping 18 of 19 shots faced in a 4-1 win over the Ducks.
Fantasy Impact: Jones has been inconsistent in the crease of late for the Kraken, allowing three or more goals in three of his last five starts (1-2-0, .833 save percentage) for the club. The veteran netminder has been the beneficiary of playing behind one of the most prolific offensive attacks in the NHL to this point, carrying a 3.02 GAA and .888 save percentage in 45 appearances (25-12-3) so far this season.

Fantasy Impact: Schwartz has been quiet in the offensive zone of late for the Kraken, registering points in just three of his last nine games (three goals, one assist) for the club. The veteran center has been a solid defensive forward who also chips in scoring in the offensive zone at times, recording 38 points (19 goals, 19 assists) in 65 games so far this season.
