Status Report
Ryan Winterton was absent during the Kraken’s recent 3-1 loss to the Nashville Predators due to illness. He was replaced by Jani Nyman in that match. On the other hand, the Blue Jackets will likely use the same 18 players that secured a 6-3 victory against the New York Rangers.
Goalie Elvis Merzlikins may have the opportunity to start after Jet Greaves was in net for the last three games.
