• Kraken's Jordan Eberle: Out long term after surgery

  15H ago • By RotoWire

  Eberle underwent a pelvic surgery Friday and will be out for at least three months. Eberle is a candidate for long-term injured reserve whenever the Kraken decide they need cap relief. The winger was injured Nov. 14 versus the Blackhawks. He likely won't be back prior to the 4 Nations Faceoff in February, and it's possible he's out longer than that. Andre Burakovsky has received the first opportunity on the top line with Matty Beniers and Jared McCann in Eberle's absence, but the Kraken are likely to try a number of forwards there over the course of their captain's recovery.

• Kraken's Jordan Eberle: No timetable for return yet

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Eberle (lower body) isn't expected to play Wednesday and a timetable for his recovery is still being determined. "We saw a doc on Monday, we're getting a couple of other opinions, and we should probably have more in the next 24 hours - a better, clearer picture as to what we're dealing with and what that timeline will look like," GM Ron Francis said, per Julian Gaudio of The Hockey News on Wednesday. Eberle has six goals and 11 points in 17 appearances in 2024-25. He's missed Seattle's past two games due to his lower-body injury. When he's healthy, Eberle figures to serve in a top-six capacity. Ben Meyers is projected to remain in the lineup for a second straight game Wednesday due in part to Eberle's absence.

• Kraken's Jordan Eberle: Being evaluated

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Head coach Dan Bylsma relayed that Eberle (lower body) is undergoing additional tests Tuesday to determine the extent of his injury, according to Tim Booth of the Seattle Times. Eberle has missed two consecutive games, and he'll most likely be unavailable for Wednesday's home matchup against Nashville. The right-shot winger has accounted for six goals, five assists and a plus-3 rating through 17 games. Daniel Sprong has filled a top-six role in Seattle's last two contests since being reacquired in a trade from Vancouver on Nov. 8.

• Kraken's Jordan Eberle: Will miss at least two games

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Eberle (lower body) will miss Saturday's game against the Islanders and Sunday's tilt versus the Rangers, Alison Lukan of the Kraken Hockey Network reports. Eberle will be evaluated further after the weekend, so a better timetable for his return could be revealed next week. He left Thursday's 3-1 win over Chicago due to the injury. Eberle has six goals and 11 points in 17 outings in 2024-25. Although the Kraken are temporarily losing Eberle, Daniel Sprong might make his debut with the squad Saturday. He was acquired from Vancouver in exchange for future considerations last Friday and has gotten his immigration paperwork approved, which enables him to play for the Kraken.

• Kraken's Jordan Eberle: Doubtful to return to game

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Eberle (lower body) is doubtful to return to Thursday's game versus the Blackhawks, Alison Lukan of the Kraken Hockey Network reports. Eberle was injured when he collided awkwardly with the boards following a collision with Chicago defenseman Connor Murphy. The 34-year-old Eberle can be considered day-to-day in the likely event he doesn't get back on the ice Thursday. Daniel Sprong (immigration) might be an option for Saturday's game versus the Islanders if he can get his paperwork sorted out in time, though the Kraken could also opt to call up a forward if Eberle can't play.
