Dumoulin has 13 points, 55 shots on net, 61 hits, 66 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 65 appearances, doing little to earn fantasy interest in most formats.

Kraken's Matty Beniers: Capitalizes on fortunate bounce
Beniers scored a power-play goal on two shots and added three hits in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Sabres.
A shot deflected off multiple players, including Beniers, before the puck landed on the doorstep of the goal. Beniers was the first to get to it, tapping it in over a defender's stick. The 21-year-old has four points over his last seven outings and is up to 10 goals, 28 points (eight on the power play), 111 shots on net and a minus-7 rating through 63 contests overall.

He's up to 16 tallies, 39 points, 147 shots on net and a plus-7 rating through 64 appearances this season, well off the pace that saw him put up 63 points a year ago.

Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Makes relief appearance
Grubauer stopped 23 of 26 shots in relief of Joey Daccord in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Sabres.
Daccord was pulled early in the first period after allowing three goals on four shots. Grubauer was able to steady things for a while, but the Kraken's offense ultimately didn't give him enough support to turn the game around. The loss belongs to Daccord, so Grubauer stays at 10-11-2 on the year with a 2.87 GAA and an .899 save percentage through 27 appearances. With an upcoming road back-to-back in Vegas on Thursday and in Arizona on Friday, both Grubauer and Daccord should get a chance to start soon.

Kraken's Joey Daccord: Pulled early Monday
Daccord stopped just one of four shots in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Sabres.
The Kraken were unable to cover the damage Daccord left behind over the first 5:41 of the game, so he'll take his third straight loss. Philipp Grubauer stopped 23 of 26 shots in a relief appearance during the Kraken's worst loss in 2024. Daccord is down to 17-15-10 with a 2.52 GAA and a .917 save percentage through 43 appearances this season. The Kraken have a back-to-back Thursday in Vegas and Friday in Arizona, so both Daccord and Grubauer should be due for starts later in the week.

Kraken's Joey Daccord: Exits ice first
Daccord was the first goalie off the ice Monday, Scott Malone of Root Sports Northwest reports, indicating he'll be in goal at home versus Buffalo.
Daccord has earned just two wins in his last nine outings, posting a 2-6-1 record, a 2.79 GAA and a .913 save percentage in that span. With starter Philipp Grubauer giving up eight goals on 63 shots (.873 save percentage) in his last two outings, both defeats, Daccord could get the chance to play his way out of his current funk and reclaim the starting job.

The 28-year-old winger is up to 48 points, 160 shots on net, 52 hits and a minus-19 rating through 66 appearances.

Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Loses to Predators
Grubauer stopped 26 of 29 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Predators. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Grubauer did well to keep the Kraken in it for most of the game, but a pair of Roman Josi tallies in the third period turned the tide in favor of the Predators. Grubauer has lost three of his past four outings, and he's allowed 12 goals in that span. The 32-year-old netminder is at 10-11-2 with a 2.86 GAA and a .900 save percentage through 26 appearances.
