Stephenson (upper body) is expected to be a game-time decision Saturday versus Pittsburgh, per Alison Lukan of the Kraken Hockey Network on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson left Thursday's 3-0 loss to Washington because of the injury, but he skated on his own Friday. The 30-year-old has eight goals and 33 points over 48 appearances in 2024-25. Jared McCann (undisclosed) and Ryker Evans (undisclosed) are also expected to be game-time decisions, making it difficult to project the Kraken's lineup. It wouldn't be surprising if Seattle called up reinforcements from the minors before the start of Saturday's clash.

Stephenson (undisclosed) was injured in Thursday's game versus the Capitals, and head coach Dan Bylsma didn't have an update on his status after the contest, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson exited the game in the second period. Until more information is available, the 30-year-old center can be considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's game versus the Penguins. Tye Kartye would likely enter the lineup if Stephenson is forced to miss time, while Jared McCann could move from wing to center.

Stephenson scored a goal and added a power-play assist in Monday's 6-4 win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson remains hot on offense in January with five goals and five assists over 10 contests. The 30-year-old center is up to eight goals, 33 points (14 on the power play), 46 shots on net, 29 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating through 47 appearances. He's overcome a slow start to the campaign and could push for 55-60 points if he keeps up his recent play.

Stephenson scored a goal on two shots, blocked three shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson tallied at 1:37 of the second period to put the Kraken ahead for good. This was Stephenson's second goal in the last three games and his fourth tally and eighth point through nine contests in January. He's up to seven goals, 31 points, 45 shots on net, 28 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating through 46 appearances. It hasn't been a standout season for Stephenson, but he's been consistent enough lately to help in fantasy formats that focus on point production.

Stephenson scored a shorthanded goal in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson has flipped a switch on offense in January, racking up three goals and four assists over seven games this month. The 30-year-old center is up to six tallies, 30 points (13 on the power play), 42 shots on net, 25 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating over 44 appearances. Stephenson adds little physicality and is more of a playmaker than a goalscorer, so his fantasy value varies depending on the format.

Stephenson had two assists Saturday in a 6-2 win over Buffalo.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson has six points (two goals, four assists) on a five-game point streak. He has 48 face-off wins (50.0 percent) in that span, but no power-play points. Stephenson has picked up his offense of late with four goals and 12 assists in his last 19 games and is regaining fantasy relevance. He had 13 points (one goal, 12 assists) in his first 23 games.

Stephenson scored a goal in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson has scored in back-to-back games for the first time this season. The 30-year-old got the Kraken on the board with a breakaway tally in the second period. Stephenson is up to five goals, 25 points, 36 shots on net, 21 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating over 39 appearances in his first campaign with Seattle.

Stephenson produced a pair of power-play assists and went minus-2 in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson had a positive performance against his former team, but the Kraken as a whole couldn't say the same. The 30-year-old center is up to three goals, 20 assists, 13 power-play points, 32 shots on net and a minus-12 rating over 34 outings this season. Stephenson's first helper Saturday was the 200th of his career, a mark he reached in his 529th game.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson helped out on Oliver Bjorkstrand's goal just 24 seconds into the game. The 30-year-old Stephenson is finding a groove with a goal and four helpers over his last five contests. The center has a total of 21 points (11 on the power play), 28 shots on net and a minus-8 rating through 30 outings this season. Stephenson is playing on the top line and while he doesn't score a lot, he has value as a power-play contributor and playmaker.

Stephenson scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson has two goals and five assists over his last six outings. The 30-year-old is starting to find some consistency while logging top-six minutes for the Kraken. He's up to 20 points, 27 shots on net, 13 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 29 appearances. He's still more playmaker than scorer, so Stephenson's fantasy value won't be as high in formats that reward goals above all else.
