Status report
Georgiev is expected to start his second straight game after being pulled from an 8-2 loss to the St. Louis Blues at Ball Arena on Saturday. ... Avalanche goalie Pavel Francouz is out the remainder of the season with a lower-body injury. .. Daccord will start for the Kraken after Grubauer started the last two games. ... Tanev was activated off injured reserve and Kraken coach Dave Hakstol said there's a real good chance he plays. ... Eberle was a full participant in Seattle's optional morning skate but the forward is not expected to play.
