Evans recorded two assists, three shots on goal, two hits, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 6-2 preseason win over the Oilers.

Evans was in the lineup over Josh Mahura with the Kraken playing a lineup that looks very similar to what they're expected to roll out for Opening Night versus the Blues on Tuesday. The pair of helpers were Evans' first points in four preseason outings. While it looks like he's set to begin the year on the third pairing, he won't have an obvious path to power-play time -- Brandon Montour and Vince Dunn are expected to be the blueliners that see time with the man advantage.
