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.

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.

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.

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.

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: 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: Collects overtime win
Rotowire
Daccord stopped 21 of 25 shots in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Canadiens.
As it has been lately, it wasn't pretty, but Daccord did just enough to get the win with some late heroics from the Kraken offense.

Daccord ended a three-game losing streak and improved to 22-18-3 with a 2.68 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 45 appearances this season. The Kraken's next game is Friday versus Utah.

Rotowire

The Kraken have relied on Daccord in net heavily this season, which gives him good value in fantasy due to the frequency of his starts, though the results have not been good lately. Daccord's next opportunity to take the ice is Wednesday at home against the Canadiens.

Kraken's Joey Daccord: Loses to Nashville
Rotowire
Daccord allowed four goals on 33 shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Predators. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
It was another poor performance for Daccord, who has allowed 16 goals while going 1-3-0 over his last four outings.

Daccord dropped to 21-17-3 with a 2.64 GAA and a .911 save percentage through 43 appearances. The Kraken have a back-to-back up next with games against the Flyers on Saturday and the Capitals on Sunday, so expect Daccord and Philipp Grubauer to split those games barring any moves involving the goalies on the roster.

Kraken's Joey Daccord: Starting Tuesday
Rotowire
Daccord will guard the home goal versus the Wild on Tuesday, per Davy Jones' Locker Room.

Kraken's Joey Daccord: Pulled in Tuesday's loss
Rotowire
Daccord allowed five goals on 21 shots in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Blues.

The 28-year-old's record dropped to 20-15-3 with a 2.55 GAA and a .914 save percentage through 40 appearances. He continues to handle a heavy workload as the Kraken's starter, though the team may be interested in getting Kokko more looks since any hope of a playoff berth is growing faint. The Kraken are back home against the Canucks on Saturday.
