Seattle Kraken defenseman Brandon Montour (personal) will be back on the ice Saturday versus Ottawa. He skipped Thursday's matchup against Toronto to welcome a second child to his family. Montour crushed the Canadiens in his last outing with a four-point effort, which included his first career hat trick. He has tallied nine points (four goals, five assists) in 10 games overall this season. Cale Fleury made his season debut on Thursday and will likely have to make way for Montour on Saturday. The former Florida Panther will rejoin the top-four group at the back and is also set to return to the first power-play unit, bumping Ryker Evans to the second.

Seattle Kraken defenseman Brandon Montour (personal) will not be in the lineup against Toronto on Thursday. Montour returned to Seattle due to the birth of his second child. The talented blue-liner is fresh off his first career hat trick and a four-point game. Ryker Evans is set to play a larger role at the back on Thursday and should replace Montour on the first power-play unit. The 22-year-old has been effective offensively for the team, recording six points (three goals, three assists) in 10 games.

Seattle Kraken defenseman Brandon Montour crushed it against Montreal on Tuesday night, finishing an 8-2 road win with his first career hat trick and four points. He set a new franchise record for most points scored by a defenseman in a single game. Three of his points, including two goals, came on the power play for Montour, who's only the eighth blue-liner in the past 40 years to score a natural hat trick. Montour hasn't quite found his stride with his new team, but the big performance has provided a nice boost for his stat line. The 30-year-old has scored nine points (four goals, five assists) in 10 games with 33 shots, 11 blocks, and 19 hits.

Florida Panthers defenseman Brandon Montour contributed an assist in Saturday's 3-0 win over Edmonton in Game 1 of the 2024 Stanley Cup Final. His seventh helper of the 2024 playoffs made Montour the first blue-liner in franchise history with double-digit points in multiple postseasons. Montour has scored three goals with 38 shots in 18 contests. The 30-year-old makes his presence felt on the defensive end as well, boasting 28 blocks and 38 hits. It's been a productive postseason run for Montour, but his work on the offensive end has been lacking in recent weeks, as he has notched only two points in his last 10 appearances.
