Daccord allowed six goals on 24 shots in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Kings.
Daccord had a terrible season finale, though it was part of a larger trend of struggles late in the year. He closed out the campaign with a three-game losing streak and allowed four or more goals in nine of his last 19 outings. Overall, he finished at a 27-23-5 record with a 2.75 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 57 appearances. That was a career high in games played, which happened because Philipp Grubauer was too unreliable to carve out steady playing time after December. With a contract extension kicking in for 2025-26, Daccord is likely to enter next season as the Kraken's No. 1 goalie.

Kraken's Joey Daccord: First goalie off Tuesday
Rotowire
Daccord was the first goalie to leave the ice Tuesday, Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network reports, indicating he'll patrol the crease at home versus the Kings.
Daccord has already set new personal bests in games played (56) and wins (27) this season, though he saw his GAA creep up to 2.69 this year -- slightly above last year's 2.46. The backstop has already signed a long-term extension with the Kraken heading into next year and figures to remain the top option between the pipes.

Kraken's Joey Daccord: Loses close game
Rotowire
Daccord gave up two goals on 25 shots in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
Daccord has started five straight games in April, going 3-2-0 with 11 goals allowed, though seven of them were in Tuesday's game in Utah. The 28-year-old netminder will not be able to reach the 30-win mark after Thursday's loss dropped him to 27-22-5 with two contests left on the Kraken's schedule. He's added a 2.69 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 56 appearances. Philipp Grubauer (illness) was cleared to back up Thursday, but it's unclear if he'll play Saturday versus the Blues or Tuesday against the Kings.

Kraken's Joey Daccord: Tending twine Thursday
Rotowire
Daccord will start on the road versus the Golden Knights on Thursday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
Daccord will make his fifth straight start. He's 3-1-0 with nine goals allowed over the last four games, though he gave up seven goals versus Utah in his last start. The Golden Knights figure to put up quite a challenge as they try to strengthen their lead in the Pacific Division, though they've scored just 13 goals over their last six games and will be without Jack Eichel (upper body).

Kraken's Joey Daccord: Pulled after two periods
Rotowire
Daccord gave up seven goals on 29 shots in Tuesday's 7-1 loss to Utah.
Daccord started for the second day in a row and ended up giving a textbook example of why teams try to avoid that situation occurring. Utah put three goals past him in the first period and scored another four in the second before Daccord got the mercy pull, allowing Victor Ostman to play in the final frame. This loss sent Daccord to 27-21-5 with a 2.70 GAA and a .908 save percentage. Philipp Grubauer (illness) should be healthy enough to play again before the end of the season, but the Kraken have just three games left and none are in back-to-backs, so Daccord should still be penciled in for another two games at a minimum.

Kraken's Joey Daccord: Starting consecutive days
Rotowire
Daccord will protect the road goal versus Utah on Tuesday, Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network reports.
Daccord stopped 28 of 29 shots in Monday's 2-1 win over the Kings, and he'll now play consecutive days. Philipp Grubauer (illness) is unavailable, while Victor Ostman will serve as the backup goalie after receiving an emergency call-up. Daccord has allowed just two goals during his current three game-winning streak.

Kraken's Joey Daccord: Extends winning streak
Rotowire
Daccord stopped 28 of 29 shots in Monday's 2-1 win over the Kings.
Daccord was outstanding en route to his third consecutive win, a span in which he's stopped 75 of the 77 shots he's faced. Having won four of his last five starts and posting outstanding peripherals over that stretch (1.40 GAA, .948 save percentage), there's no doubt Daccord is ending the season on an excellent stretch.

Kraken's Joey Daccord: Leaves ice first Monday
Rotowire
Daccord was the first goalie off the ice ahead of Monday's road game versus the Kings, Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network reports, indicating he'll be between the pipes.
Daccord is riding a two-game winning streak during which he has posted a .979 save percentage and one shutout. The 28-year-old backstop has already set new personal bests with games played (53) and wins (26) this year, but will be hard-pressed to reach the 30-win mark given there are just five games remaining on Seattle's schedule.

Kraken's Joey Daccord: Sharp in Saturday's win
Rotowire
Daccord stopped 23 of 24 shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Sharks.
Daccord allowed a Will Smith goal in the first period, but that was it, as the Kraken netminder won for the third time in his last four starts. The 28-year-old Daccord improved to 26-20-5 with a 2.63 GAA and a .910 save percentage through 53 appearances this season. He'll likely split the Kraken's next two games with Philipp Grubauer -- they visit the Kings on Monday before wrapping up the back-to-back Tuesday in Utah.

Kraken's Joey Daccord: Guarding goal versus Sharks
Rotowire
Daccord will protect the road goal versus the Sharks on Saturday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
Daccord will look to keep the momentum going after he earned a 24-save shutout Wednesday versus the Canucks. That was his third win in his last seven games, a span in which he has stabilized after a rough early part of March, posting a 2.56 GAA and a .910 save percentage in that sample. Saturday's game is a good matchup for fantasy managers looking for a boost from Daccord late in the semifinals week.

Kraken's Joey Daccord: Posts 24-save shutout
Rotowire
Daccord recorded a 24-save shutout in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Canucks.
Daccord was stout between the pipes, earning the fifth shutout of his career, two of which have come this season. He's had mixed results more recently -- he allowed at least three goals in nine of his 11 appearances in March. With the win, Daccord reached the 25-win mark for the first time in his career. He's at a 25-20-5 record with a 2.66 GAA and a .909 save percentage over 52 appearances. The Kraken's next game is on the road Saturday at San Jose, which would be a favorable matchup should Daccord get the start.

Kraken's Joey Daccord: Starting versus Canucks
Rotowire
Daccord will protect the road goal versus the Canucks on Wednesday, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports.
Daccord will attempt to get back on track after going 1-2-1 with 13 goals allowed over his previous four games. He won his only other start versus the Canucks this season, stopping 28 of 31 shots in a 6-3 win March 1. The 28-year-old will have to contend with a team desperate for points in the playoff race, though the Canucks are just 2-2-2 over their last six contests.

Kraken's Joey Daccord: Poor showing in loss
Rotowire
Daccord stopped 16 of 20 shots in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Stars. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
Daccord has struggled to a 4-5-2 record with a 3.30 GAA and an .883 save percentage over 11 outings in March. This was always going to be a tough matchup, as the Stars are surging and Daccord appears to be tiring after a career-high 51 games played. The 28-year-old netminder is 24-20-5 with a 2.72 GAA and a .907 save percentage through 51 outings overall. It's unclear if he'll get another crack at the Stars in Monday's rematch or if Philipp Grubauer will draw in for the first time in five games.

Kraken's Joey Daccord: In goal again Saturday
Rotowire
Daccord will start at home versus the Stars on Saturday, per Emerald City Hockey.
Daccord will start for the fourth game in a row. He's gone 1-1-1 with nine goals allowed over his last three outings. Saturday's matchup is the first of two in a row for the Kraken against the Stars. The visitors come into this matchup on a four-game winning streak with 15 goals scored in that span, so Daccord will likely get challenged significantly in this contest.

Kraken's Joey Daccord: Defeats Oilers
Rotowire
Daccord stopped 36 of 37 shots in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Oilers.
The Oilers still put up a decent shot volume, but Daccord was able to avenge his regulation loss to them last Saturday. The 28-year-old turned in a strong effort between the pipes and rode the Kraken's five-goal second period to the win. Daccord is 4-4-2 with 32 goals allowed over 10 games in March, as it appears his workload has caught up to him a bit. He's now 24-19-5 with a 2.69 GAA and a .909 save percentage over 50 appearances, which matches his career high in games played from last year. The Kraken's next two games are against the Stars on Saturday and Monday, so Daccord should probably be left on the bench in fantasy.

Kraken's Joey Daccord: First goalie off Thursday
Rotowire
Daccord was the first goalie to leave the ice Thursday, Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network reports, indicating he'll tend the twine at home versus Edmonton.
Daccord was shelled to the tune of four goals on 28 shots (.857 save percentage) when he faced the Oilers on Saturday. In fact, the 28-year-old netminder has given up four goals in five of his last eight appearances while going 2-4-2 with a 3.53 GAA. Even without Connor McDavid (lower body) or Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed), Edmonton will be a tough matchup for Daccord.

Kraken's Joey Daccord: Yields four goals again
Rotowire
Daccord stopped 33 of 37 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Flames.
Daccord has given up at least four goals in five of his nine outings in March. That explains a large part of his struggles -- he's 3-4-2 for the month. The 28-year-old netminder gave up three goals in just over 10 minutes of game time from when Nazem Kadri tied the game in the third period to when Kadri won it with a breakaway tally in overtime. Daccord is down to 23-19-5 with a 2.72 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 49 appearances. He hasn't started more than two games in a row since the first week of March, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Philipp Grubauer draw in for a start soon, perhaps as early as Thursday versus the Oilers.

Kraken's Joey Daccord: Starting in Calgary
Rotowire
Daccord will guard the road goal versus the Flames on Tuesday, Ryan Pike of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Daccord has struggled to a 3-4-1 record with a 3.42 GAA and an .874 save percentage over eight games in March. The Flames are coming off a 3-1-0 road trip, during which they scored 13 goals. However, the Flames have struggled to score consistently this season, so this is a favorable matchup for Daccord to try to get back on track.

Kraken's Joey Daccord: Surrenders four goals in loss
Rotowire
Daccord gave up four goals on 28 shots in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Oilers. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
Daccord didn't give up the decisive tally, an empty-netter by Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, but lost for the fifth time over eight outings in March. The 28-year-old Daccord is down to 23-19-4 on the year, and he's at a 2.70 GAA and a .907 save percentage through 48 appearances. The Kraken's next game is Tuesday in Calgary. Daccord has recently been starting two of every three games, but it's unclear if that pattern will hold heading into a three-game week for Seattle.

Kraken's Joey Daccord: Between pipes Saturday
Rotowire
Daccord will start on the road versus the Oilers on Saturday, per the NHL media site.
Daccord will start for the fifth time in seven games, having gone 2-1-1 with 12 goals allowed over his previous four starts. The Oilers are usually a tough matchup -- Daccord has already lost to them once this year, allowing three goals on 30 shots in a Jan. 27 game. However, Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed) and Connor McDavid (lower body) won't play in Saturday's matchup, leaving the Oilers' offense significantly shorthanded.
