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: Returns to minors
Rotowire
Nyman was reassigned to AHL Coachella Valley on Monday.
After recording three goals and three assists through his first eight NHL appearances, Nyman was held off the scoresheet in his last four games. It's a promising start to the youngster's professional career, but he'll now continue to work on his game with the Firebirds, with whom he's earned 26 goals and 41 points over 55 AHL contests. The 20-year-old should be able to compete for a full-time role with the Kraken in 2025-26.

Kraken's Jani Nyman: Produces two points Thursday
Rotowire
Nyman scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Oilers.
Nyman continues to look comfortable alongside Matty Beniers and Kaapo Kakko. Nyman's pair of points came 16 seconds apart in the second period -- he scored to put the Kraken up 3-0 and then assisted on Beniers' tally in short order. This was Nyman's first even-strength goal and his second multi-point effort in three contests. The 20-year-old is up to three goals, three assists, 17 shots on net, eight hits and a minus-2 rating through eight appearances. He still has plenty to prove at the NHL level, but he could be setting himself up well for a chance to begin 2025-26 with the big club.

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.

Kraken's Jani Nyman: Summoned from minors
Rotowire
Nyman was recalled from AHL Coachella Valley on Monday.
Nyman has played well with the Firebirds this season, registering 26 goals and 41 points across 55 appearances. Nyman has yet to make his NHL debut, but that may change soon. The winger could compete with Tye Kartye, who has just eight points over 51 games, for a spot in the lineup.
