Eberle (leg) is not expected to play on Thursday.

Eberle suffered a cut from a skate blade to the upper part of his leg in practice on Wednesday. Kraken GM Ron Francis said that they think they "dodged a bullet" but that Eberle is going to be "sore," so don't expect him to play Thursday in Colorado. The Kraken recalled Shane Wright and Ryan Winterton from the AHL and one of them will take Eberle's spot in the lineup.

Chandler Stephenson (upper body) is expected to be out Wednesday vs. Los Angeles and will miss the next two games.

Stephenson is expected to miss the next two games as he tends to an upper-body injury. In the Golden Knights' most recent game, Stephenson played 19:12 and was held without a point, registering a -2 plus/minus rating. Jonas Rondbjerg has been recalled from Henderson of the AHL and is expected to suit up for Vegas in his absence.

Daccord will start in Arizona on Tuesday.

After watching Philipp Grubauer start the previous three games, Daccord will return the starter's crease for the Kraken on Tuesday. Daccord has been more than serviceable when called upon this season, posting a 2.88 GAA and .912 SV% in five games (2-1-2). The Kraken are slight -106 road favourites against an Arizona Coyotes team that has lost four of their last six (2-3-1). After losing their first four games (0-3-1), the Kraken have slowly begun to right the ship, registering points in five of their last eight (4-3-1).

Montour (shoulder) is expected to miss at least two more weeks.

Panthers' head coach Paul Maurice said that there's a chance Montour returns after the Panthers' upcoming road trip to California, which runs from Nov. 14 to Nov.17. This puts Montour on track to play somewhere around Nov.20 when they host the Edmonton Oilers.

Maxime Lajoie will be a healthy scratch Monday vs. Tampa Bay.

Lajoie will be a healthy scratch on Monday, allowing Simon Benoit to make his season debut for the Maple Leafs against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Lajoie debuted for the Maple Leafs on Saturday, recording a -1 plus/minute rating in 4:54 time-on-ice.

Brandon Biro (upper body) has been placed on the injured reserve.

Biro was off to a hot start after being called upon to enter the Sabres' lineup last week, scoring two points (2G / 0A) in two games and averaging 13:00 time-on-ice. Biro will miss at least the next week as he has been placed on the injured reserve with an upper-body injury. Matthew Savoie has been called up from Rochester (AHL) in the interim.

Philipp Grubauer will start Saturday vs. Calgary.

Grubauer will start his third straight contest as Seattle takes on Calgary Saturday after winning his last two contests by stopping a combined 66 of 71 shots against (.929 SV%). The 31-year-old has looked much like his normal self for the first time since joining Seattle in 2023-24, as he holds a .909 SV%, 2.83 GAA and 2-4-0 record. He takes on one of the NHL's coldest teams in the Calgary Flames, who have lost six straight games and are 28th in the NHL in goals per game (2.2).
