Kraken's Jesper Froden: Draws in, picks up assist
Rotowire
Froden logged an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
Froden slotted into Oliver Bjorkstrand's (personal) usual third-line spot with the latter staying home in Seattle awaiting the birth of his child. This was Froden's first game since March 23, though he has managed two assists in his last four outings. The 28-year-old winger has three helpers, eight shots on net, eight hits, five blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 11 NHL contests in 2022-23. Froden mainly plays a defensive, bottom-six role, so he shouldn't be counted on for offense when in the lineup.

Kraken's Jesper Froden: Garners helper in loss
Rotowire
Froden notched an assist and went plus-2 in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Stars.
This was Froden's second helper of the season, his first coming in his first game of the campaign Feb. 23 versus the Bruins. The 28-year-old has been a fixture on the third line for much of March, mostly for his smart play in his own zone. He has 47 points in 44 contests with AHL Coachella Valley this season, so there's still some offense to tap into, but likely not enough to interest fantasy managers.
