Evans logged an assist and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Sharks. - Vince Dunn (upper body) returned from long-term injured reserve Saturday, which was believed to be the end of Evans' run in a prominent role. Instead, head coach Dan Bylsma tinkered with all of his defensive pairings, putting Evans alongside Brandon Montour on the second pair and moving Jamie Oleksiak down to the third pair alongside Will Borgen. This is a huge vote of confidence in Evans' play, and it's well-earned -- he has five helpers over the last four games and a total of 16 points, 30 shots on net, 40 hits and 42 blocked shots across 25 outings this season. Evans also maintained a spot on the second power-play unit, so it looks like he'll retain decent fantasy value for a while. |

Evans notched two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 3-2 win over the Ducks. - Evans snapped a three-game dry spell on offense.

Through 22 contests, Evans is up to three goals, 10 assists, 26 shots on net, 36 hits, 36 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating. He's looked every bit the part of an NHL defenseman while frequently filling a top-four role, especially with Vince Dunn on the mend from an upper-body injury. |

Evans posted a power-play assist, three hits and two blocked shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks. - Evans led the Kraken with 24:33 of ice time in this contest. The 22-year-old blueliner has been limited to two assists over six outings in November, but he's also played more than 20 minutes in five of those games as he continues to fill in on the top pairing for Vince Dunn (upper body). For the season, Evans has nine points (two on the power play), 21 shots on net, 30 hits, 28 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 17 appearances. That matches his point total from 36 games last season, and it's a scoring pace that could make him useful in fantasy given his other contributions. |

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

Evans scored a power-play marker in Tuesday's 3-2 loss versus the Avalanche. - Evans' goal at 19:55 of the third period cut Seattle's deficit to one, but it was too little too late. In addition to scoring, Evans collected four shots, three blocks and two hits in 22:53 of ice time. With Vince Dunn (upper body) on long-term injured reserve, Evans is stepping up his game in all facets, and he's seen increased ice time in each of his last four appearances. The left-shot blueliner has logged two goals, three assists and a plus-5 rating over seven games. |

Evans logged an assist, blocked two shots and went plus-5 in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Flyers. - Evans impressed on the defensive side of things, especially after Vince Dunn had his minutes managed in the third period. Through five games, Evans has a goal, three assists, seven shots on net, six blocked shots, six hits and a plus-5 rating over five contests. If Dunn misses any additional time with the lingering effects of an upper-body injury he sustained last weekend, Evans would jump into a top-four role. Fantasy managers in dynasty formats should already have Evans stashed, and if he can keep his offense up, he'll draw some appeal in redraft formats as well. |

Evans scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Predators. - Evans opened the scoring just 3:37 into the game.

Evans was limited to nine points in 36 outings during the 2023-24 regular season, but he's poised to shatter those marks in his first full NHL campaign. |

The pair of helpers were Evans' first points in four preseason outings. While it looks like he's set to begin the year on the third pairing, he won't have an obvious path to power-play time -- Brandon Montour and Vince are expected to be the blueliners that see time with the man advantage. |

Evans provided an assist, four hits and four PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Jets. - Evans ended a 10-game point drought with the helper on Yanni Gourde's second-period tally.

He will likely play Thursday versus the Wild and then return to AHL Coachella Valley for the Calder Cup playoffs. |

Evans (lower body) will be a game-time call versus Anaheim on Thursday, Kate Shefte of The Seattle Times reports. - Evans and fellow blueliner Gustav Olofsson exited the ice at about the same time, so Olofsson figures to get into the lineup if Evans can't give it a go.

In his last nine outings, the Calgary native appears to have found his offensive stride with a goal and three assists while averaging 17:11 of ice time. |

The 22-year-old Evans has seven helpers (five on the power play), 27 shots on net, 37 hits, 23 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating through 23 appearances. The rookie defenseman will likely stay in the lineup as long as Dunn is out, but Evans' fantasy appeal is limited to deeper formats. |

The 22-year-old Evans has picked up four helpers over his last three games after opening his career with no points in three contests. He's seen time on the second power-play unit and third pairing, but he's often been just about even with Will Borgen in total ice time. Evans has added 11 shots on net, eight hits, seven blocked shots, four PIM and a plus-4 rating across six outings. It's possible he could stick in the lineup even after Justin Schultz (upper body) returns. |

The 22-year-old Evans does offer some offensive upside from the blueline -- he had two goals and eight points in 18 AHL games after tallying 44 points (six goals, 38 assists) in 71 games last season. However, with Justin Schultz (upper body) expected to return soon, Evans could find himself back in the minors. |
