This injury report highlights key absences and expected returns for Seattle Kraken vs Ottawa Senators.

• Ottawa Senators: Core left wing Brady Tkachuk (LW) is out with a wrist injury and practiced with a non-contact jersey after taking a hit to the face. He is targeting a return by Saturday, November 15, 2025.
• Seattle Kraken: Core right wing Kaapo Kakko (RW) was placed on long-term injured reserve for a hand injury, sidelined until at least Saturday, November 8, 2025. Depth defenseman Ryker Evans (D) remains on injured reserve with an upper-body issue, hoping to return by Wednesday, November 26, 2025.

With Tkachuk sidelined, the Senators will lack a key power-play threat, likely lowering their goal projections. On the other side, the Kraken will need secondary scoring to compensate for Kakko's absence. These injury developments can sway puck-line and over/under wagers, making it crucial to factor in updated line combinations and special teams performance.
