Carter Hart

Sun 4/5/26 2:53 AM

Hart stopped 31 of 32 shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
The score got a bit lopsided, but Hart was still able to handle most of what the Oilers threw at him. He's stopped 50 of 54 shots over two games since returning from a lower-body injury, winning both outings. The Golden Knights are in a three-horse race for the top of the Pacific Division, and Hart's return has given them a boost in the homestretch. He's up to 7-3-3 with a 3.08 GAA and an .880 save percentage over 14 starts this season. The Golden Knights' road trip continues with a favorable matchup Tuesday in Vancouver.

Josh Mahura
D SEA
Sun 4/5/26 2:35 AM

Mahura has played just once in 19 games since the Olympic break after sitting out Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
The Kraken have even tried seven defensemen in the lineup recently, but Mahura has remained a scratch while Cale Fleury picks up the extra minutes. Mahura is under contract for 2026-27, so he's likely looking at another year of a part-time role. He's contributed just three points, 13 shots on net, 22 hits, 34 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 21 appearances on the year, which has seen the Kraken avoid an injury crisis on the blue line.

Kaapo Kakko
W SEA
Sun 4/5/26 2:32 AM

Kakko scored a goal in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Kakko's strong play of late continued with a third-period tally. He's contributed four goals and eight assists over his last 10 outings, though he's taken just eight shots on net in that span. The 25-year-old winger is up to 13 goals, 38 points, 74 shots on net and a plus-16 rating over 58 appearances as one of the Kraken's more effective depth forwards. He's looked especially strong alongside Chandler Stephenson and Bobby McMann on the second line recently.

Jaden Schwartz
LW SEA
Sun 4/5/26 2:30 AM

Schwartz scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Both of Schwartz's points came in the third period, but the Kraken weren't able to catch up to the Blackhawks. These were Schwartz's first points in three games since he returned from a skate cut to the face. The winger is up to 11 goals, 23 points, 76 shots on net, 41 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over 45 appearances. It's another year impacted by injuries -- Schwartz has missed at least 15 games in four of the last six years, which has made him a challenging forward to consider in fantasy on a low-scoring team.

Philipp Grubauer
G SEA
Sun 4/5/26 2:27 AM

Grubauer allowed three goals on 30 shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Blackhawks. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
EDGE Analysis
The Kraken needed to take advantage of this matchup to stay in the playoff race, but that didn't happen. Grubauer allowed two goals in the second period and another in the third, which caused the Kraken's comeback push to fall short. Grubauer is winless in his last three outings despite allowing just seven goals on 89 shots in that span. He's down to 13-11-4 with a 2.59 GAA and a .910 save percentage through 31 contests this season. Grubauer and Joey Daccord are likely to split the next two games, as the Kraken visit the Jets on Monday before facing the Wild on Tuesday.

Landon Slaggert
F CHI
Sun 4/5/26 2:23 AM

Slaggert notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Slaggert has played in every game since the start of March, but he has just two points with 18 shots on net, 31 hits and a minus-3 rating over 18 games in that span. The 23-year-old has mostly been confined to a fourth-line role during his run in the lineup. Slaggert is at a career-high seven points with 46 shots, 76 hits and a minus-1 rating through 49 appearances this season. Fantasy managers don't need to consider him this season, and it's unlikely he'll gain playing time in future years with the Blackhawks having a steady flow of prospects ready to push for his job.

Wyatt Kaiser
D CHI
Sun 4/5/26 2:20 AM

Kaiser notched two assists in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Kaiser ended a seven-game point drought with this effort. The 23-year-old defenseman is up to 16 points, 71 shots on net, 59 blocked shots, 44 hits, 34 PIM and a minus-14 rating over 72 appearances. Kaiser is seeing steady top-four minutes late in the year, though he is trending toward more of a shutdown role in the long run, as he's rarely given any power-play time.

Connor Bedard
C CHI
Sun 4/5/26 2:18 AM

Bedard logged two assists and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Bedard set up Teuvo Teravainen's power-play tally in the second period and helped out on Ilya Mikheyev's empty-netter in the third. This was Bedard's first multi-point effort since March 17, but he hasn't gone more than one game without a point in that span. He's not exactly stringing a streak together either, but he's showed some decent consistency. The 20-year-old has crossed the 70-point mark for the first time with 30 goals, 41 assists, 210 shots on net, 42 PIM and a minus-9 rating over 64 appearances this season, though he's faded slightly late in the year with 16 points over 18 games since the start of March.

Sacha Boisvert
C CHI
Sun 4/5/26 2:15 AM

Boisvert scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Boisvert has played in five of the last six games, though he is being limited to bottom-six minutes in his first taste of NHL action. The 20-year-old center broke through with his first goal and point Saturday, and the tally at 13:08 of the third period stood as the game-winner. He's added four shots on net, six hits, nine PIM and a minus-1 rating through five appearances, showcasing a bit of grit. It wouldn't be surprising to see Boisvert get substantial time with AHL Rockford in 2026-27, which would likely benefit his development in the long run.

Teuvo Teravainen
W CHI
Sun 4/5/26 2:11 AM

Teravainen scored a power-play goal on four shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Teravainen had been buried in the lineup lately, but he was moved up to the top line for this contest. It was his power-play usage that helped him snap a 15-game goal drought, a span in which he had five assists and just 13 shots on net. The 31-year-old winger is now at 14 goals, 34 points, 84 shots on net, 41 blocked shots and a minus-22 rating through 70 appearances. He'll miss the 50-point mark for the first time in three years, and it could be tough for him to get back to that level next season if the Blackhawks get a collective step forward from their many prospects.
