Kraken Activate Brandon Montour From IR Before Bruins Game

The return arrives earlier than the four-week timetable following his pre-Christmas hand surgery.

Overview

Seattle made room by reassigning forward Jacob Melanson to AHL Coachella Valley.
Montour has not played since Dec. 16, and he was initially projected to miss at least four weeks after hand surgery reported on Dec. 22.
He has 16 points in 27 games this season with a minus-4 rating and is available to suit up in Boston.
The defenseman is averaging 21:56 per game and leads Seattle blueliners with a 51.3% Corsi For, reinforcing his value in transition and possession.
He led the Kraken defense with 41 points last season after signing a seven-year, $50 million deal and is a Stanley Cup winner with the 2023–24 Panthers.
