Lindgren exited Tuesday's game with an upper-body injury and has not been ruled out for the next four to six weeks. The 28-year-old Lindgren was a stabilizing presence on Seattle's blueline last season, averaging 18:20 time-on-ice, recording 118 blocks and scoring nine points (2G / 7A) in 76 games.

Daccord led the Kraken onto the ice for warmups; he'll start Tuesday vs. Vegas.

Daccord has been excellent to start the 2026-27 season, starting two of Seattle's first three games, and will likely return to the crease on Tuesday against the Vegas Golden Knights. The 30-year-old Daccord has opened the season by saving 56 of 58 shots (.966 SV%) in his first two games (2-0-0). Daccord had a down 2025-26 season, but he'll hope to return to the impressive form he showed in prior years. Seattle enters Tuesday's contest as +148 home underdogs.

Ottavainen is expected to make his season debut vs. Calgary on Sunday.

Ottavainen will make his second career NHL appearance and first of the young 2026-27 campaign as he replaces Cale Fleury on Seattle's defensive unit on Sunday vs. Calgary. The 24-year-old towering Finnish defenseman last appeared in the NHL two seasons ago in 2024-25, picking up an assist in his only game played.

Douglas will draw back into Seattle's lineup vs. Calgary on Sunday.

Douglas was a scratch for Seattle's game on Saturday but finds himself back in the lineup on Sunday vs. Calgary as he replaces Ben Meyers. The 26-year-old towering forward only logged 5:58 TOI in Seattle's season opener and is expected to play a similar, limited role on Sunday.

Daccord will start vs. Calgary on Sunday.

Daccord was sensational in his opening night win over Calgary, stopping 24 of 25 shots against (.960 SV%) in a 6-1 win and will hope to duplicate his success as the Kraken host the Flames on Sunday. Daccord is looking for a bounce back campaign after struggling in 2025-26, posting a 20-20-6 record alongside his 3.03 GAA and .897 SV%. He will hope to remain in the win column as Seattle hosts the struggling Flames on Sunday, who are 0-2-0 with 10 goals against and only two for.
