Kraken Forward Jared McCann Sidelined Long-Term with Lower-Body Injury
Jared McCann is expected to miss 10 weeks with a lower-body injury as Seattle moves Jani Nyman into the lineup.
- The Seattle Kraken placed forward Jared McCann on injured reserve Sunday after he sustained a lower-body injury; the franchise's all-time leading scorer will be sidelined for 10 weeks.
- McCann played 16 minutes against the Utah Mammoth last Thursday, which is typical for him, but he sat out Saturday's game against the Minnesota Wild.
- The Kraken recalled prospect Jani Nyman from the AHL to replace McCann, though little-used enforcer Curtis Douglas filled the open lineup spot during a 5-1 loss.
- This injury creates a significant void for the Seattle Kraken, as the organization relies heavily on the offensive output of their top-line forward.
- Despite missing 30 games last season, McCann managed a successful goal-scoring campaign, and his extended 10-week absence now poses a challenge for the Kraken's top line.
