Rotowire
Daccord will protect the home goal Tuesday versus the Canadiens, per Sound of Hockey.
Daccord will make his third straight start and his eighth outing in Seattle's 10th games. The 29-year-old has won three of his last four contests while allowing a total of 10 goals on 116 shots in that span. The Canadiens have 15 goals scored in their last four games, winning three of them, so this is likely to be a tough test for Daccord and the Kraken.

Kraken's Joey Daccord: Gets hook in Philly
Rotowire
Daccord turned aside 16 of 21 shots before being replaced by Philipp Grubauer to begin the third period of Monday's 5-2 loss to the Flyers.
Two of Philly's goals came on power plays and two others came on defensive zone breakdowns by the Kraken, but the first goal Daccord allowed came after his own misplay of the puck behind the net. It's the second time in his last three starts that the 29-year-old netminder has coughed up five goals, and through five outings this season, Daccord sports a 3-1-1 record, but a less impressive 3.09 GAA and .889 save percentage.

Kraken's Joey Daccord: Falls to Habs in OT
Rotowire
Daccord made 17 saves in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Canadiens.
It was a tough night for the 29-year-old netminder, who had little chance on the first three pucks that beat him. Daccord went down too soon on Ivan Demidov's tying goal late in regulation, and he left a gap at the near post that Cole Caufield found with a sharp-angle shot in OT. Even with the Karken carrying three goalies on the initial roster, Daccord has started all three of the team's games so far in 2025-26, going 2-0-1 with a 2.23 GAA and .918 save percentage.

Kraken's Joey Daccord: Excellent in win over Ducks
Rotowire
Daccord stopped 35 of 36 shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Ducks.
Daccord was tested early and often in the season opener, but he limited the damage to a Beckett Sennecke goal in the first period. Expect a heavy workload for Daccord throughout 2025-26 after he played in a career-high 57 games last year, going 27-23-5 with a 2.75 GAA and a .906 save percentage. The 29-year-old is the clear No. 1 on the Kraken's roster, while Philipp Grubauer and Matt Murray will compete for starts in the backup role. The Kraken have a tougher test ahead when they host the Golden Knights on Saturday.

Kraken's Joey Daccord: Stumbles in finale
Rotowire
Daccord allowed six goals on 24 shots in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Kings.
Daccord had a terrible season finale, though it was part of a larger trend of struggles late in the year. He closed out the campaign with a three-game losing streak and allowed four or more goals in nine of his last 19 outings. Overall, he finished at a 27-23-5 record with a 2.75 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 57 appearances. That was a career high in games played, which happened because Philipp Grubauer was too unreliable to carve out steady playing time after December. With a contract extension kicking in for 2025-26, Daccord is likely to enter next season as the Kraken's No. 1 goalie.

Kraken's Joey Daccord: First goalie off Tuesday
Rotowire
Daccord was the first goalie to leave the ice Tuesday, Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network reports, indicating he'll patrol the crease at home versus the Kings.
Daccord has already set new personal bests in games played (56) and wins (27) this season, though he saw his GAA creep up to 2.69 this year -- slightly above last year's 2.46. The backstop has already signed a long-term extension with the Kraken heading into next year and figures to remain the top option between the pipes.

Kraken's Joey Daccord: Loses close game
Rotowire
Daccord gave up two goals on 25 shots in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
Daccord has started five straight games in April, going 3-2-0 with 11 goals allowed, though seven of them were in Tuesday's game in Utah. The 28-year-old netminder will not be able to reach the 30-win mark after Thursday's loss dropped him to 27-22-5 with two contests left on the Kraken's schedule. He's added a 2.69 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 56 appearances. Philipp Grubauer (illness) was cleared to back up Thursday, but it's unclear if he'll play Saturday versus the Blues or Tuesday against the Kings.

Rotowire
Daccord stopped 23 of 24 shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Sharks.
Daccord allowed a Will Smith goal in the first period, but that was it, as the Kraken netminder won for the third time in his last four starts. The 28-year-old Daccord improved to 26-20-5 with a 2.63 GAA and a .910 save percentage through 53 appearances this season.

Kraken's Joey Daccord: Guarding goal versus Sharks
Rotowire
Daccord will protect the road goal versus the Sharks on Saturday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

That was his third win in his last seven games, a span in which he has stabilized after a rough early part of March, posting a 2.56 GAA and a .910 save percentage in that sample. Saturday's game is a good matchup for fantasy managers looking for a boost from Daccord late in the semifinals week.

Kraken's Joey Daccord: Poor showing in loss
Rotowire
Daccord stopped 16 of 20 shots in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Stars. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
Daccord has struggled to a 4-5-2 record with a 3.30 GAA and an .883 save percentage over 11 outings in March. This was always going to be a tough matchup, as the Stars are surging and Daccord appears to be tiring after a career-high 51 games played. The 28-year-old netminder is 24-20-5 with a 2.72 GAA and a .907 save percentage through 51 outings overall. It's unclear if he'll get another crack at the Stars in Monday's rematch or if Philipp Grubauer will draw in for the first time in five games.

Rotowire
Daccord will start at home versus the Stars on Saturday, per Emerald City Hockey.

The 28-year-old netminder is now 22-18-4 with a 2.68 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 46 appearances.

Kraken's Joey Daccord: Collects overtime win
Rotowire
Daccord stopped 21 of 25 shots in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Canadiens.
As it has been lately, it wasn't pretty, but Daccord did just enough to get the win with some late heroics from the Kraken offense.

Daccord ended a three-game losing streak and improved to 22-18-3 with a 2.68 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 45 appearances this season. The Kraken's next game is Friday versus Utah.

Daccord kept Seattle's net tidy through the first period before allowing three goals in the final two frames, including two in the first three minutes of the second period. The 28-year-old goaltender now has a 21-18-3 record with a .910 save percentage and a 2.65 GAA. Daccord has lost four of his last five appearances as Seattle has struggled as a team overall. The Kraken have relied on Daccord in net heavily this season, which gives him good value in fantasy due to the frequency of his starts, though the results have not been good lately. Daccord's next opportunity to take the ice is Wednesday at home against the Canadiens.
