Fibigr scored two goals and added two assists in OHL Brampton's 8-2 win over Sudbury on Sunday.
Fibigr has had a couple of big performances for the Steelheads this season, and this was his best yet. The effort has him up to eight goals and 20 points through 21 appearances. The 2024 seventh-round pick of the Kraken also has a plus-15 rating this year, showing some improvement in his own zone in addition to his increased offense.

Kraken's Joey Daccord: Tending twine Sunday
Rotowire
Daccord will guard the road goal against the Islanders on Sunday, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.
Daccord will get the second half of Seattle's back-to-back after Philipp Grubauer played in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over Pittsburgh. The 29-year-old Daccord has a 7-3-3 record with one shutout, a 2.78 GAA and a .900 save percentage through 13 appearances this season. The Islanders have registered 3.18 goals per game, tying the team for 11th in the league this campaign.
Kraken's Frederick Gaudreau: First helper since return
Rotowire
Gaudreau notched an assist in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Penguins.
Gaudreau was able to get a little revenge on a former team, setting up Brandon Montour's game-winning tally in overtime. This was Gaudreau's first point in four games since he returned from an upper-body injury that cost him 13 contests. The center has two assists, seven shots on net, six blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over eight appearances this season. He probably won't be a big factor in fantasy while playing in a bottom-six role.

Kraken's Ryker Evans: Deals pair of helpers
Rotowire
Evans logged two assists in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Penguins.
Evans helped out on Matty Beniers' game-tying goal in the third period and Brandon Montour's game-winner at 4:10 of overtime. Over the last three games, Evans has racked up a goal and three assists while filling a third-pairing role. He's at two goals, four helpers, nine shots on net, five hits, four blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over eight appearances this season. The 23-year-old should have a steady place in the lineup, but it's unlikely he'll be able to sustain his recent success on offense without a bump in ice time.

Kraken's Mason Marchment: Goal, assist in win
Rotowire
Marchment scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist, added two PIM, doled out four hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Penguins.
Marchment opened the scoring with an unassisted tally at 1:24 of the second period. He also set up linemate Matty Beniers' game-tying goal in the third. That helper was the 200th point of Marchment's career. With a goal and five helpers over his last five games, the 30-year-old winger looks to have finally found some chemistry in the Kraken's lineup, and it's on a line with Beniers and Jordan Eberle. Marchment is up to two goals, 11 points, 31 shots on net, 29 hits, six PIM and a plus-1 rating over 20 appearances this season. He's on track to reach the 40-point mark for the fourth time in five years, but he can be streaky on offense.

Kraken's Matty Beniers: Scores vs. Pittsburgh
Rotowire
Beniers scored a goal in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Penguins.
Beniers scored the Kraken's second goal with a wrister at the 12:36 mark of the third period, and that goal was the one that sent this game to overtime. Beniers only has three goals this season, but he's cracked the scoresheet in four of his last five appearances, tallying five points (one goal, four helpers) in that stretch.
Montour scored the game-winning goal in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Penguins.
Montour was the hero for the Kraken after scoring the deciding goal with 50 seconds left in the overtime period. He's up to four goals and 12 points in 17 outings this year. Montour didn't come close to matching his 73-point regular-season output from 2022-23 in the 2023-24 or 2024-25 regular seasons. However, he has a real shot of recording at least 45 points for the second time in his career if he stays healthy for the rest of the campaign.

Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Makes 30 saves in OT win
Rotowire
Grubauer stopped 30 of 32 shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Penguins.
Grubauer was beaten once in even strength and once on the power play by Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, respectively, but he looked composed the rest of the way and put up a solid line en route to an OT win. The 30 saves were a season-high mark for Grubauer, who seems to be entrenched as the backup behind Joey Daccord. As long as Grubauer remains in this role, his upside will be close to minimal and strictly matchup-based.
Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Slated to start Saturday
Rotowire
Grubauer was the first goaltender off the ice at morning practice, Piper Shaw of Kraken Hockey Network reports, indicating he will defend the road goal in Pittsburgh on Saturday.
Grubauer has won three straight games and has provided the Kraken with excellent backup goaltending. He is 3-0-1 with a 2.20 GAA and a .903 save percentage across five appearances this season. He will face a tired Penguins team that dropped a 5-0 decision at home Friday to Minnesota.
Villeneuve scored a goal and added two assists in OHL Sudbury's 6-3 win over London on Friday.
Villeneuve has six goals and six assists during a six-game point streak. The 19-year-old is up to 10 goals and 29 points over 17 appearances as he continues to pile up points as one of the Wolves' top players. The Kraken should be encouraged to see the 2024 second-round pick take a leap forward on offense for the third straight year, especially since Sudbury hasn't performed all that well as a team.

Kraken's Berkly Catton: Picks up assist in comeback win
Rotowire
Catton logged an assist in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Catton had a helper on Shane Wright's game-tying goal at 7:13 of the third period. The 19-year-old Catton hasn't come out of the lineup since his Oct. 20 debut versus the Flyers, but he was on a nine-game slump prior to Thursday. The 2024 first-round pick has been playing alongside Wright on the third line, which is a unit that is likely to be sheltered by head coach Lane Lambert. Catton is up to four assists, 11 shots on net, eight blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 15 appearances.

Kraken's Mason Marchment: Records assist on game winner
Rotowire
Marchment recorded a power-play assist on the game-winning goal in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Marchment provided the secondary helper on Jaden Schwartz's game-winning goal with less than two and a half minutes to go in the final period. Overall, the 30-year-old Marchment has eight assists, nine points, 28 shots on goal and 25 hits through 19 games this season. While his one goal and 3.6 shooting percentage have been discouraging, he has four assists over his last four games and appears to be settling into his role with the Kraken. After scoring 22 goals in each of the past two seasons with the Stars, Marchment will need to begin finding the back of the net to reach the 47-point mark, which he has hit in three of the last four seasons. Be patient with Seattle's top-line left winger in fantasy, as history favors smoother seas ahead for Marchment.

Kraken's Oscar Fisker Molgaard: Assist in NHL Debut
Rotowire
Fisker Molgaard distributed an assist and put out a hit in Thursday's 3-2 win over Chicago.
Fisker Molgaard made the most of his first 6:50 of ice time at the NHL level, as he had the primary helper on Tye Kartye's goal that helped spark a late comeback win. The 20-year-old center has been no stranger to finding the scoresheet this year, as he tallied 10 points across 14 appearances with AHL Coachella Valley before his NHL debut Thursday. While his role is limited on a checking line for the time being, if Fisker Molgaard can continue to create opportunities in limited chances, more ice time could be in store for him. He's a solid watchlist candidate in deep fantasy leagues after an impressive debut.

Kraken's Shane Wright: Nets game-tying goal
Rotowire
Wright scored a goal, placed three shots on net and blocked two attempts in Thursday's 3-2 win over Chicago.
Wright's twine finder tied the game at two goals apiece almost midway through the third period. With the late score, the 21-year-old forward has five goals, 10 points and 30 shots on net through 20 games this season. The goal was his first since Nov. 8, but it helped him secure points in back-to-back games for the third time this season. Wright is also trending upward as a player who offers solid category coverage, as he has six hits and five blocks over his last six contests. After registering 44 points last season, he's back on track for another productive campaign, giving him value across most deep leagues in fantasy.

Kraken's Tye Kartye: Starts comeback with goal
Rotowire
Kartye scored a goal and dished out two hits in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Kartye's goal helped spark a comeback for the Kraken, who went the first 45 minutes of regulation without scoring. With the twine finder, he has two goals, four points and 48 hits through 20 games this season. Seattle's fourth-line left winger has heightened value in fantasy leagues that value banger stats, but his inconsistent scoring leaves him off the fantasy radar in most formats.

Kraken's Brandon Montour: Two helpers in comeback win
Rotowire
Montour dished out two assists, placed three shots on net, and recorded a block in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Montour played a hand in the goals that began and completed Seattle's third-period comeback. His pair of apples ended a five-game point drought and doubled his offensive output in the month of November. Overall, the 31-year-old blueliner has eight assists, 11 points, 40 shots on goal and 25 blocks through 16 games this season. Montour's first full season in Seattle was the second-best offensive season of his career, and year two has him on a point pace to surpass the 41 points he put together last year. His inconsistencies finding the scoresheet of late are noteworthy, but he displayed a very consistent start to the season with eight points in seven appearances, meaning Thursday's helpers could spark another point run for him. With solid category coverage, Montour has solid fantasy value in most formats.
