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 (upper body) won't suit up Saturday versus the Flames, Bob Condor of the Kraken's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Evans will enter the 4 Nations Face-Off break injured, as he is set to miss his fifth straight game Saturday. The 23-year-old's next chance to play is Feb. 22 versus the Panthers. He was considered day-to-day as of Thursday, so it seems like he'll have a good chance to return after the break.
