Evans scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Evans tallied a long-range goal in the third period, answering Collin Graf's go-ahead tally just 1:19 earlier. With a point in each of the last two games, Evans is starting to make more of an impact on offense. He's at three goals, eight points, 18 shots on net, 15 blocked shots, 12 hits, 10 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 19 contests. The 24-year-old will get a boost in potential for as long as Brandon Montour (undisclosed) is out, which has opened a spot for Evans on the second power-play unit.

Evans registered a power-play assist and two PIM in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Evans ended his nine-game slump on offense with the helper. He was also scratched once in that span, though that's unlikely to happen again while Brandon Montour (undisclosed) is on the mend. Evans is at seven points, 15 shots on net, 15 blocked shots, 11 hits, 10 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 18 outings this season.

Evans logged two assists in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Evans helped out on Matty Beniers' game-tying goal in the third period and Brandon Montour's game-winner at 4:10 of overtime. Over the last three games, Evans has racked up a goal and three assists while filling a third-pairing role. He's at two goals, four helpers, nine shots on net, five hits, four blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over eight appearances this season. The 23-year-old should have a steady place in the lineup, but it's unlikely he'll be able to sustain his recent success on offense without a bump in ice time.

Evans scored a goal in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Evans' tally in the second period briefly tied the game at 2-2. The 23-year-old has three points over six contests since he recovered from a season-opening upper-body injury. He's played on the third pairing so far, and he saw a season-low 14:03 of ice time Tuesday. Evans is also out of the mix on the power play with  Vince Dunn and Brandon Montour healthy. There's some upside to Evans' offense, but his current role isn't fantasy-friendly.

Evans scored a goal on two shots on net and added an assist, two hits and a plus-1 rating in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Making his season debut after recovering from an upper-body injury, Evans found the back of the net midway through the second period on a shot that deflected in off Alexei Toropchenko's skate. The 23-year-old blueliner has some offensive skill, but Evans' path to consistent power-play time is blocked by Vince Dunn and Brandon Montour, capping his fantasy appeal in formats that don't reward his hits and blocked shots.

Evans (upper body) was activated off injured reserve Saturday, according to Sound of Hockey.com.

EDGE Analysis

Evans has been out since training camp, missing the first 13 games of the campaign. Evans managed five goals and 20 assists in 73 regular-season games in 2024-25. He will see some time on the power play upon his return, but he'll have a tough time beating out Vince Dunn and Brandon Montour, who are ahead of him on the depth chart when the Kraken have the man advantage. Evans could return to the lineup as early as Saturday in St. Louis.

Evans (upper body) will travel with the Kraken for their upcoming two-game road trip, Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network reports Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The Kraken will play in St. Louis on Saturday and Dallas on Sunday. Evans' original timetable, which was announced Oct. 1, projected that he would be out for 6-8 weeks, so it wouldn't be surprising if he doesn't play in either of those upcoming games. However, the fact that he's traveling with the team suggests that he's getting close to returning. Evans had five goals, 25 points, 30 PIM, 123 hits and 106 blocks in 73 regular-season outings with Seattle in 2024-25.

Evans (upper body) is skating ahead of practice in a non-contact jersey, Scott Malone of Root Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Evans is expected to be out until mid-November after he sustained the injury during training camp. Evans is a candidate to see some power-play time, but he has Vince Dunn and Brandon Montour ahead of him on the depth chart. Evans had five goals and 20 assists in 73 games in 2024-25, including three points with the man advantage.

Evans (upper body) was shifted to injured reserve Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Evans is expected to be on the shelf for 6-8 weeks, so it shouldn't be a shock to see him moved to injured reserve. If Brandon Montour (ankle) or Vince Dunn (undisclosed) isn't available for Opening Night against the Ducks on Thursday, the Kraken will need to bring a player up from the minors. Once Evans is given the all-clear, he should still be capable of pushing for the 20-point threshold for the second straight year.

The Kraken announced Wednesday that Evans is expected to miss approximately 6-8 weeks due to an upper-body injury.

EDGE Analysis

Evans inked a two-year contract with the Kraken in August, but he'll have to miss the start of the 2025-26 regular season due to his injury. With Evans likely out until at least mid-November, Josh Mahura and Ville Ottavainen are candidates to see additional work early in the year. Still, the Kraken will likely get a boost since Brandon Montour (ankle) is on track to be ready for Opening Night on Oct. 9 versus Anaheim.
