But following only playing 6:14 in the Kraken’s first game of the season, we learned late Thursday evening that the young man would be left out for his team’s second duel, ahead of be played a few minutes later once morest the Kings.

No morning skate today which stifled any confirmation of the Kraken lineup until this evening.

Morgan Geekie is in, making his season debut. Shane Wright (6:14 of ice time last night) will sit.

It didn’t take long for many netizens and Seattle fans to wonder what the benefit of staying with the Kraken would be to Wright if the reality that awaited him was to play so sporadically.

6:14 of ice time. Hakstol buried him on the 4th line. Even if they send him back to the OHL you still want him to have ice time. Hakstol is not a good pro coach. Kid should be anchoring the 3rd line with gourde. That will help development.

Remember that in his first game in the NHL, the right-handed center player was cleared from the score sheet, throwing no throws and distributing no checks.
