Overview
- Seattle announced Monday that the 31-year-old had successful hand surgery and was moved to injured reserve.
- He is projected to miss roughly four weeks after leaving the Dec. 16 game versus Colorado with a hand injury sustained in a post-whistle scuffle with Brent Burns.
- Montour ranks second on the Kraken in average ice time at 21:55 and logs just over two minutes per game on the power play.
- Coach Lane Lambert bumped Jamie Oleksiak into Montour’s spot next to Ryan Lindgren and returned Josh Mahura to the third pair with Ryker Evans.
- Seattle has gone 2-8-0 in its last 10 and trails the Utah Mammoth by seven points for the second wild card despite having games in hand.
