Overview
- Head coach Adam Foote confirmed Jake DeBrusk will be a healthy scratch Monday in Seattle, and DeBrusk called the decision "embarrassing" as he struggles with just one even‑strength goal this season.
- Veteran centre David Kämpf is also set to sit, with Vancouver reuniting Brock Boeser and Elias Pettersson on a line flanked by Evander Kane.
- Liam Öhgren moves up with Marco Rossi and Conor Garland, Nils Höglander returns to action, and Aatu Räty draws back into the lineup.
- Foote set the goaltending plan with Kevin Lankinen starting against the Kraken and Thatcher Demko slated to start Tuesday versus Philadelphia.
- Filip Chytil continues skating in a red non‑contact jersey, and Foote estimated a potential return within weeks if his progress holds.
