EDGE Analysis

Schultz broke up Adin Hill's shutout bid with a tally at 13:19 of the third period. Through three games, Schultz has racked up a goal, two assists and six shots on net. He's served as the Kraken's power-play quarterback on the top unit as well, which gives him some intriguing fantasy value in standard formats if he can continue to hold onto that role.

EDGE Analysis

The 32-year-old got the first chance to quarterback the Kraken's top power-play unit, and he made it work with helpers on goals by Jared McCann and Oliver Bjorkstrand. That success should buy Schultz more time in that role over Vince Dunn, who also cashed in a power-play assist in this game. Schultz had a rather quiet 2021-22 with 23 points in 74 contests with the Capitals, but he's poised to return to a top-four role with the Kraken after seeing third-pairing minutes last year.

Schultz signed a two-year, $6 million contract with the Kraken on Wednesday, Ryan S. Clark of The Athletic reports.

The 32-year-old Schultz registered five of his 23 points last season on the power play, adding 87 blocked shots and a minus-15 rating in 74 contests with the Capitals.
