Dragicevic is Seattle's 2023 2nd round pick (57th overall) and has signed a three-year, entry-level contract on Thursday. The 18-year-old puck-moving defenseman just completed his third WHL regular season with Tri-City (WHL) and had an impressive 14 goals and 50 points in 66 games played.
Lindgren left last Sunday's game after a scary leg injury that fortunately left him with only a week-to-week prognosis. The 26-year-old defenseman has two goals, 13 points, 60 SOG, 30 PIMs and a +19 plus/minus through 66 games played before his injury.
Daccord recorded a 12-save shutout against the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday, but Seattle will likely turn to Grubauer in Thursday's rematch. Grubauer has lost five straight, allowing three or more goals four times, including four on six shots (.333 SV%) before being pulled in his last outing, a 5-1 loss to the Montreal Canadiens. That said, Seattle enters action as a sizeable -217 home favourite against the Ducks.
Evans left Sunday's contest vs. Montreal due to a lower-body injury after only 2:22 TOI and did not play on Tuesday. The 22-year-old rookie looks likely to return to the lineup on Thursday against the Anaheim Ducks but will be a game-time decision and look to add to his eight points (1G/7A) and 30 SOG in 25 games.
Seattle will aim to snap an eight-game losing skid on Tuesday and will turn to Daccord in the crease. Daccord played well in relief on Sunday, saving 10 of 11 shots (.909 SV%) in a 5-1 loss to the Montreal Canadiens. In his outing before that, Daccord saved 24 of 26 shots (.923 SV%) in a 2-1 overtime loss to the Arizona Coyotes and saw his bid for a shutout end with less than two minutes to play in regulation. Seattle enters action as a -206 home favourite against the Anaheim Ducks.
Morrison and Ryan Winterton will both enter the lineup on Tuesday for Seattle as Kailer Yamamoto and Tomas Tatar will be healthy scratches. The 21-year-old Morrison has 40 points (15G / 25A) in 60 games with the Coachella Valley Firebirds (AHL).
Winterton and Logan Morrison will both enter the lineup on Tuesday for Seattle as Kailer Yamamoto and Tomas Tatar will be healthy scratches. The 20-year-old Winterton has zero points while averaging 8:12 time-on-ice through three games this season.

Mahura has played the last six games for the Panthers but will return to the press box as a healthy scratch on Tuesday. The 25-year-old Mahura has eight points (0G / 8A), 33 hits, and 20 blocks in 26 games this season.
Evans left Sunday's contest vs. Montreal due to a lower-body injury after only 2:22 TOI and did not appear for practice on Monday. The 22-year-old rookie is considered day-to-day at the moment but will hope to be back soon as he looks to add to his eight points (1G/7A) and 30 SOG in 25 games played
Evans left Sunday's contest vs. Montreal due to a lower-body injury after only 2:22 TOI and did not appear for practice on Monday. The 22-year-old rookie is without a timetable to return at the moment but will hope to be back soon as he looks to add to his eight points (1G/7A) and 30 SOG in 25 games played.
Daccord will be back between the pipes on Friday for the tail-end of Seattle's back-to-back after Philipp Grubauer got the nod in Vegas on Thursday. Daccord endured one of his worst starts of the season his last time out, allowing three goals on just four shots against the Sabres on Monday before being lifted in favour of Grubauer. Daccord has delivered an impressive .917 SV% across 43 appearances this season but a lack of goal support means he's only been able to secure 17 victories. He'll be looking to snap a personal three-game losing streak when he takes on the Coyotes on Friday.
Fleury played 12 games with Seattle last season but has spent the entirety of the 2023-24 campaign with the Coachella Valley Firebirds (AHL), tallying 29 points (5G / 24A) in 57 games. The 25-year-old Fleury was the third-round pick of the Montreal Canadiens in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft.
Schwartz has not played since March 8th, missing four games with an upper-body injury, but will return to the lineup on Thursday against the Vegas Golden Knights. The veteran forward has 23 points (11G / 22A) in 47 games this season.
Oleksiak played only 9:49 time-on-ice before exiting Monday's 6-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres with an undisclosed injury. The 31-year-old Oleksiak has 10 points (2G / 8A), 98 hits, and 150 blocks in 67 games this season.
Seattle will turn to Grubauer for the second time in three games on Thursday against the Vegas Golden Knights. Joey Daccord started the last game for Seattle and allowed three goals on four shots before being replaced by Grubauer, who allowed three goals on 26 shots (.885 SV%) in an eventual 6-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres. Grubauer and the Kraken are +156 road underdogs against a Golden Knights club that defeated them 5-4 less than two weeks ago.
