Daccord will make his 41st start of the campaign when the Kraken head to Nashville to take on the Predators on Thursday. Daccord turned in a solid performance in his last outing, allowing just two goals on 25 shots in a 6-2 win over the Panthers on Sunday. The 29-year-old netminder owns a 19-16-5 record and .901 SV% on the season. Daccord and the Kraken enter action on Thursday at +115 on the money line.
Nyman, a second-round pick of Seattle in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft, spent 24 games with the Kraken earlier this season, scoring six points (4G / 2A). That said, the 21-year-old forward has spent most of the 2025-26 campaign in the AHL, where he has 27 points (18G / 9A) in 29 games with the Coachella Valley Firebirds.
Melanson will draw in for Eeli Tolvanen, who is out with an undisclosed injury. Melanson has two goals and three assists in 29 games this season.
Tolvanen was absent from morning skate on Tuesday and was a game-time decision vs. Tampa Bay. The 26-year-old Tolvanen has struggled offensively lately, with only three points (1G / 2A) in his last 12 games.
Grubauer was excellent in his most recent outing, saving 32 of 34 shots (.941 SV%) in a 5-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks and will look to carry that momentum in Tuesday's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The win snapped a rough four-game skid for the 34-year-old Grubauer, where he posted a 3.66 GAA and .870 SV% while his team went 0-4-0. Seattle enters the action on Tuesday as +165 home underdogs against a struggling Tampa Bay team that is 2-7-0 in their last nine games.

Seattle allowed four unanswered goals in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Nashville Predators as they suffered their third straight loss (0-3-0). The 29-year-old Daccord will return to the crease on Thursday, looking to improve on some inconsistent play since returning from the Olympic break, posting a 3.02 GAA and .903 SV% in six games (3-3-0). Seattle enters the action on Thursday as +185 home underdogs against the league-leading Colorado Avalanche, who are coming off a disappointing 4-3 loss to the Edmonton Oilers.

Despite giving up seven goals in Saturday's loss to the Senators, Daccord will somewhat surprisingly be back between the pipes for the Kraken on Tuesday. Kraken head coach Lane Lambert is no doubt rewarding Daccord with a vote of confidence for his strong run of play leading up to Saturday's lopsided defeat. The 29-year-old netminder had gone 6-1-0 in his previous seven starts while posting a .934 SV%. Daccord does have a good chance of getting back in the win column on Tuesday, as the Kraken enter action at -115 on the money line.
Murray has been out since November 15th due to a lower-body injury but was activated off IR on Tuesday and will join the Kraken. Through five appearances this season, the 31-year-old has a 0-2-1 record with a 2.21 GAA and .922 SV%.
Gaudreau did not play in Seattle's previous game, but was back at practice on Monday and should return for Tuesday's game against the Nashville Predators. The 32-year-old Gaudreau is averaging 16:09 time-on-ice and has 18 points (4G / 14A) in 48 games this season.
Lindgren has missed Seattle's previous game due to an illness, but was back at practice on Monday and should re-enter the lineup on Tuesday against the Nashville Predators. The 28-year-old defenseman has nine points (2G / 7A) in 58 games this season.
Schwartz suffered an upper-body injury in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Ottawa Senators and exited the contest after only 6:27 time-on-ice. The 33-year-old veteran forward has been productive offensively in a middle-six role and will be sorely missed, out week-to-week, for a Seattle team that struggles to generate offence. Schwartz has 21 points (10G / 11A) in 42 games this season.
