Overview
- Seattle announced Saturday that Jared McCann was placed on injured reserve and Brandon Montour returned to the team following a brief personal leave.
- Montour is expected to re-enter the lineup against Edmonton to open the homestand after posting four assists in four games with heavy minutes early on.
- McCann has missed the past week with a lower-body injury after recording three goals and one assist in his first five games.
- The IR placement opens a roster spot with only six defensemen previously active, and reporting suggests Cale Fleury could lose his place in the rotation.
- The Kraken remain 4-2-2 and are also without injured forwards Kaapo Kakko and Frederick Gaudreau as they manage early-season absences.
