Ryker Evans

23-Year-Old DefensemanD
2024 Fantasy Outlook
It's not quite "put up or shut up" time for Evans, considering he is just 22 years old, but a strong showing during the preseason would likely force the Kraken to keep him on the roster for Opening Night. In his rookie campaign last year, the Calgary native notched one goal and eight assists in 36 contests while averaging 19:11 of ice time. Evans has put his offensive upside on display in the minutes, with 15 points in 25 regular-season clashes with AHL Coachella Valley, a skill he will be looking to translate to the next level. While Evans may not be worth taking in redraft formats, he should definitely be on your roster in dynasty formats and could be a midseason waiver pickup. Read Past Outlooks

Evans (hand) will be in the lineup Friday versus the Devils, per Sound of Hockey.
ANALYSIS
Evans missed two games with the injury. The 22-year-old defenseman was rolling prior to the issue, racking up five helpers over his previous four games. Evans will play on the third pairing and should also see time on the second power-play unit, while Josh Mahura will sit as a healthy scratch.
