Evans signed a two-year, $4.1 million contract with the Kraken on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Evans was a restricted free agent prior to re-signing with the Kraken, which he'll become again when the deal expires after 2026-27. He'll also be eligible for arbitration at that time. The 23-year-old appears to be developing into a reliable bottom-four defenseman, as he registered five goals, 20 helpers, 123 hits and 106 blocked shots over 73 appearances last season. While he may be a steady source of category coverage in 2025-26, his lack of power-play time due to the presence of Vince Dunn and Brandon Montour on the blue line is a hindrance to Evans' offensive potential.

Evans (illness) will be available for Tuesday's matchup against Utah, Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

After sitting out Monday's 2-1 win over the Kings, Evans could replace Cale Fleury in Tuesday's lineup. The 23-year-old Evans has five goals, 25 points, 59 shots on net, 95 blocked shots and 118 hits across 69 appearances this season.

Evans will miss Monday's game versus the Kings due to an illness, per Alison Lukan of the Kraken Hockey Network.

EDGE Analysis

Cale Fleury will rejoin the lineup as a result of Evans' absence. Monday's game is the first half of a back-to-back for Seattle, so Evans might be a game-time decision for Tuesday's matchup against Utah.

Evans produced an assist, three shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Evans has produced four helpers over 12 outings in March. The 23-year-old defenseman set up an Andre Burakovsky tally in the second period. Evans is up to 25 points, 58 shots on net, 112 hits, 88 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 65 appearances this season. He crossed 100 games played Tuesday against the Flames, and he's taken a noticeable step forward in his second campaign.

Evans notched an assist, four hits and a minus-2 rating in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Evans was quietly a healthy scratch for Friday's 4-2 win over Utah, but he was able to draw back in over Cale Fleury for Sunday's game. The 23-year-old Evans has typically been a regular in the Kraken's lineup when healthy, but he's been limited to three helpers and a minus-10 rating over 10 contests since the 4 Nations Face-Off break, so head coach Dan Bylsma was likely trying to send a message about recent performance. Evans is at 24 points, 50 shots on net, 101 hits, 83 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating through 60 outings this season.

Evans notched an assist and three hits in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Evans has two helpers over four outings in March. He's just a goal shy of matching his combined production from 17 games over January and February. The Kraken didn't make any trades involving defensemen at the deadline, so Evans will likely remain in a third-pairing role, barring any other injuries late in the season. He has produced 23 points, 50 shots on net, 96 hits, 82 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 57 appearances in a respectable showing for his first full NHL campaign.

Evans logged an assist, three hits and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Evans earned his first point in four games since he missed five contests due to an upper-body injury. The defenseman set up the first of Eeli Tolvanen's two goals in the game. Evans continues to play on the third pairing at even strength, and with both of Vince Dunn and Brandon Montour healthy, Evans is not seeing power-play time. For the season, the 23-year-old Evans is at 22 points, 48 shots on net, 91 hits, 79 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 54 appearances. He's 10 games played away from 100 in his career and has emerged as a decent scorer from the blueliner who can also chip in some physical play.

Evans (upper body) will return to the lineup against Florida on Saturday, according to Alison Lukan of the Kraken's official site.

EDGE Analysis

Evans will be back in the fold following a five-game absence. He has produced five goals, 21 points, 47 shots on net, 77 blocked shots and 80 hits through 50 outings this season. Due to Evans' return, Cale Fleury will be a healthy scratch against the Panthers on Saturday.

Evans (upper body) won't suit up Saturday versus the Flames, Bob Condor of the Kraken's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Evans will enter the 4 Nations Face-Off break injured, as he is set to miss his fifth straight game Saturday. The 23-year-old's next chance to play is Feb. 22 versus the Panthers. He was considered day-to-day as of Thursday, so it seems like he'll have a good chance to return after the break.

Evans (upper body) will remain out of the lineup versus Toronto on Thursday, according to Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network.

EDGE Analysis

Evans will miss his fourth straight game and is considered day-to-day at this time. He has only two assists over his last nine games, giving the 23-year-old defenseman five goals and 21 points across 50 games this season. Cale Fleury will remain in the lineup in Evans' absence.
