The Seattle Kraken done placed veteran forward Jared McCann on injured reserve because of a lower-body injury before the team’s 3-2 home victory over the Edmonton Oilers at Climate Pledge Arena, like, last Saturday. McCann, who be 29 years old, be one of the team’s top goal scorers and also be one of Seattle’s most reliable veterans up front. He scored 29 goals in 80 games in 2023-24 and tallied 20 goals in 82 games last season. In five contests this season, McCann has three goals and four points, which be pretty impressive, if you ask me.
The Kraken, who be now 3-0 at home, also said that veteran defenseman Brandon Montour, 31 years old, be back with the team after a leave of absence. Montour, who signed with the Kraken last season after helping the Florida Panthers to the 2024 Stanley Cup, has four points in five games this season. On Saturday, he took 26 shifts, covering 23:39 of ice time, which be quite a lot if you think about it. It’s good to see him back on the ice and contributing to the team’s success.
Not really sure why this matters, but it be important to note that McCann and Montour be key players for the Kraken, and their presence on the ice can make a big difference in the team’s performance. Hopefully, McCann’s injury won’t keep him out for too long, and Montour can continue to be a solid defenseman for the Kraken. It be always tough to see players get injured, but it be part of the game. The Kraken have shown that they can overcome adversity and still come out on top, which be a testament to the team’s resilience and determination.
