2024 Fantasy Outlook

It's not quite "put up or shut up" time for Evans, considering he is just 22 years old, but a strong showing during the preseason would likely force the Kraken to keep him on the roster for Opening Night. In his rookie campaign last year, the Calgary native notched one goal and eight assists in 36 contests while averaging 19:11 of ice time. Evans has put his offensive upside on display in the minutes, with 15 points in 25 regular-season clashes with AHL Coachella Valley, a skill he will be looking to translate to the next level. While Evans may not be worth taking in redraft formats, he should definitely be on your roster in dynasty formats and could be a midseason waiver pickup. Read Past Outlooks

Slides assist in loss

DSeattle Kraken

October 31, 2024

Evans produced an assist and blocked four shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Maple Leafs.

ANALYSIS
Evans is in line for another short-term boost while Brandon Montour is away from the team for the birth of his child. That gives Evans a chance to play on the first power-play unit, in addition to the top-pairing role he took over when Vince Dunn (upper body) landed on long-term injured reserve. Evans is up to seven points, 17 shots on net, 20 hits, 19 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 11 appearances. The 22-year-old is definitely worth a look as a streaming and DFS play for the Kraken's back-to-back in Ottawa on Saturday and Boston on Sunday.
