Daccord led the Kraken onto the ice for warmups.

Daccord hasn't played much lately, often taking a backseat to Philipp Grubauer, but he will return to the crease on Wednesday. The 30-year-old Grubauer struggled in his last start, allowing four goals on 35 shots (.886 SV%) in a 5-1 loss to the Minnesota Wild. He has an ugly 3.96 GAA and .880 SV% in seven appearances this season (3-3-0). The Kraken enter Wednesday's game as -128 home favourites against a Calgary Flames team that defeated them 6-2 less than a week ago.

Lindgren (upper body) practiced in a non-contact jersey on Wednesday.

Lindgren is about four weeks into his original four-to-six week recovery timeline, and appears to be inching closer to a return. 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.

Grubauer led the Kraken onto the ice for warmups.

Grubauer has never lived up to expectations since joining the Seattle Kraken in their inaugural 2021-22 season, but he is off to a strong start in 2026-27. The 34-year-old German goalie was excellent in his most recent outing, saving 33 of 36 shots (.917 SV%) in a 5-3 win over the Utah Mammoth. He has a 2.76 GAA and .907 SV% in seven appearances this season (6-1-1). Seattle enters Wednesday's contest as +120 home underdogs against a Toronto Maple Leafs team coming off a 5-2 loss to the Calgary Flames.
