Ryker Evans

22-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

Helps out on power play

November 14, 2024
Evans posted a power-play assist, three hits and two blocked shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.
ANALYSIS
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.
