Kraken Put Kaapo Kakko on IR as Freddy Gaudreau Activated, Jared McCann Nears Return

Coach Lane Lambert says Kakko is week-to-week after a lower-body injury in Winnipeg.

Overview

  • Seattle made the roster moves Saturday ahead of hosting San Jose, according to multiple local reports.
  • Kakko exited Thursday’s game against the Jets after 3:51 of ice time, shortly after scoring his first goal of the season.
  • Gaudreau returns from an upper-body injury sustained Oct. 16 and had one assist in four games before being sidelined.
  • Winger Jared McCann, out with a lower-body injury, is progressing and could travel on the upcoming road trip, according to team updates.
  • The setback follows Kakko’s preseason broken hand and further tests the Kraken’s early-season forward depth and scoring options.
