Schultz (undisclosed) will miss Thursday's game against New Jersey, Kraken radio announcer Mike Benton reports.

Schultz didn't finish Tuesday's game versus the Oilers, per Emerald City Hockey.
EDGE Analysis
Schultz didn't appear in any obvious distress after a second-period hit, but he didn't take another shift after it happened. The defenseman had a power-play assist in the contest, giving him 24 points in 42 contests -- surpassing his output from 42 outings last season. If he misses time, Cale Fleury would likely draw into the lineup, while Adam Larsson or Carson Soucy would be candidates to absorb Schultz's power-play time.

Schultz scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran defenseman snuck off the blue line early in the third period and took a perfect feed from Matty Beniers to blast home his fifth goal of the season. Schultz has three two-point performances in the last five games, and on the year he's collected 23 points in 38 games, putting him on pace for his best campaign since he erupted for a career-high 51 points for the Penguins in 2016-17.

Schultz scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist, went plus-2, added two hits and blocked four shots in Saturday's 8-4 win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Schultz set up an Oliver Bjorkstrand tally and then scored one of his own a few minutes later in a productive first period. With a goal and three helpers over his last four contests, Schultz appears to be back in a groove on offense. The 32-year-old blueliner has 21 points, 52 shots, 43 blocked shots, 24 PIM and a plus-6 rating through 36 contests. He's two points shy of matching his total from last year with the Capitals, and he needs nine more to return to the 30-point threshold for the first time since 2016-17.

Schultz recorded two assists in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Schultz helped out on goals by Matty Beniers (on the power play) and Yanni Gourde. The pair of assists ended a five-game drought for Schultz, who added just six shots on net, eight blocked shots and a minus-3 rating in that span. He was good over the first two months of the campaign, but he's struggled lately. The 32-year-old is at three goals, 16 helpers, 50 shots on net, 38 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 34 appearances.

Schultz recorded an assist in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Schultz missed the previous two games with an upper-body injury he suffered versus the Panthers. Prior to the injury, he'd been stuck in a five-game point drought to begin December, but he ended the dry spell by helping out on Jared McCann's game-winning goal in the third period. Schultz has thrived on the second pairing for the Kraken, racking up three goals, 14 helpers, 43 shots on net, 30 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a plus-5 rating in 28 outings this season.

Schultz (upper body) will be in Sunday's lineup against the Jets, per the NHL's media site.
EDGE Analysis

Schultz (upper body) is doubtful against Carolina on Thursday, Alison Lukan of Root Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Schultz did not practice Thursday morning and it would be a surprise if he was in the lineup, as he also missed Tuesday's tilt against Tampa Bay. Schultz has three goals and 13 assists in 27 games this season.
