Goalie Start
Daccord led the Kraken onto the ice for warmups; he’ll start Thursday in Calgary.
After back-to-back seasons with a SV% above .906 and a Quality Start% over 61.8%, Daccord dropped to an .896 SV% and 52.2 Quality Start% in 2025-26. He also dipped back to 46 starts, with Philipp Grubauer bouncing back. The Kraken are expected to be a bottom-10 team this season, so Daccord is more useful in points-formats where the saves will accumulate, but he’s positioned nicely on Thursday against a Calgary team that is expected to be near the league’s basement. The Kraken enter play at -102 on the road.
Samoskevich (upper-body) returned to Seattle's practice on Thursday in a non-contact jersey.
Samoskevich missed most of training camp because of an upper-body injury, but he appears to be inching closer to a return after practicing Thursday in a non-contact jersey. The 23-year-old Samoskevich spent his first three seasons with the Florida Panthers. He scored 32 points (12G / 20A) in 77 games last season. He will likely play a more prominent role on a Seattle team with less offensive depth.
Samoskevich missed Saturday’s preseason game due to an upper-body injury and is considered day-to-day.
