Status report
The Kraken did not hold a morning skate. ... Stephenson will return after missing two games on personal leave. Coach Lane Lambert had said Monday that he wasn't sure who would be scratched with Stephenson returning. "There is some healthy bodies and we have some numbers and some people that maybe we can put in some fresh legs," he said. ... Montour practiced in a regular jersey Tuesday, but won't play. The defenseman will miss his 14th straight game. ... The Kraken reassigned forward Oscar Fisker Molgaard to Coachella Valley of the American Hockey League on Tuesday. ... Nemec will reenter the lineup after not playing in a 5-2 win against the Minnesota Wild on Monday. He will replace Kovacevic, a defenseman who played the past two games after missing the first 44 games of the season following offseason knee surgery.
