Kraken's Jani Nyman: Scores in rare chance to play
Rotowire
Nyman scored a goal in Thursday's 9-4 loss to the Oilers.
Nyman played in just five of the Kraken's 14 games in November after being in the lineup for every contest in October. The winger's goal came in garbage time at 19:55 of the third period. He has four tallies, 20 shots on net, 15 hits and a plus-2 rating across 16 appearances. Nyman's got a good shot, but he won't be a fantasy option if he can't stick in the lineup.

Kraken's Jani Nyman: Scores again in Monday's loss
Rotowire
Nyman scored a power-play goal on three shots in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Flyers.
Nyman's goal was his third in the last four games. This was his first contest with power-play time, and he could carve out some fantasy value if he stays in that role, though his ceiling is lowered by a fourth-line assignment at even strength. The 21-year-old has added seven shots on net, eight hits and a plus-1 rating. If he continues to perform well, Nyman could get promoted to a better spot in the lineup, especially if Jared McCann (lower body) remains out.

Kraken's Jani Nyman: Second goal in last three games
Rotowire
Nyman scored a goal in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.
Nyman one-timed a pass in the slot from Mason Marchment to put the Kraken up 2-1 at 14:29 of the second period. The 21-year-old winger has two goals and four shots in his last three games. Nyman's average ice time this season is down to 9:06, which is almost five minutes less than his 13:59 average in 12 contests last season. The young winger has talent, but his role needs to increase, or he could end up as a healthy scratch.

Kraken's Jani Nyman: Tallies first goal of season
Rotowire
Nyman scored a goal in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Canadiens.
Nyman tied the game at 2-2 late in the second period. A strong training camp enabled the 21-year-old winger to make the Kraken's roster, and he's holding onto a fourth-line spot to begin the season. He's added one shot on net, five hits, one blocked shot and a plus-1 rating while failing to reach 10 minutes of ice time in any of his three appearances. Nyman's got potential as a power winger, but it will be a while before that happens.

Kraken's Jani Nyman: First multi-point effort of career
Rotowire
Nyman registered two assists, including one on the power play, and four shots on net in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Oilers.
Nyman earned his first multi-point performance, and it came in his sixth game with the Kraken. The 20-year-old helped out on both of Kaapo Kakko's goals after the two wingers were put on a line together with Matty Beniers due to a lineup shuffle. Nyman has four points (three on the power play), 12 shots on net, eight hits and a minus-2 rating so far, so he hasn't looked out of place in the NHL.

Kraken's Jani Nyman: Strikes on power play in loss
Rotowire
Nyman scored a power-play goal in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Jets.
Nyman has scored twice, both on the power play, over his first three NHL games. The Kraken sheltered him a bit against a tough opponent -- he had just 9:19 of ice time despite getting a goal in this contest. The 20-year-old winger will try to keep fending off John Hayden for a spot in the lineup, though it's possible the Kraken will eventually send Nyman down after letting him have a taste of NHL action. In any case, power-play time looks to be part of the deal for as long as he can stay with the big club.

Kraken's Jani Nyman: Scores in NHL debut
Rotowire
Nyman scored a power-play goal on three shots and added three hits in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Canadiens.
Nyman logged 13:56 of ice time in his debut, and he scored his first NHL tally at 10:53 of the third period, sparking the Kraken's comeback effort. The 20-year-old was selected by Seattle in the second round of the 2022 NHL Entry Draft. He's well-regarded for his shot, and he's also got size that could allow him to play as a power winger once he establishes himself with the Kraken. Nyman will likely be a big part of AHL Coachella Valley's playoff run this spring, but it won't hurt for him to spend some time with the big club to get a taste of NHL action.
