• Kraken's Jared McCann: Facing three-week absence

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  McCann is dealing with a lower-body injury that will sideline him for at least three weeks, the team announced Friday. McCann was just six games back from a 17-game stint on the sidelines due to a lower-body injury. It's not immediately clear if this latest problem is related, but either way, the forward is likely headed for another stint on injured reserve. When healthy, McCann has been producing offensively with five goals and three assists, including two power-play points, in 11 outings.

• Kraken's Jared McCann: Exits contest late

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  McCann (undisclosed) left Wednesday's game versus the Kings in obvious pain after a collision with goalie Anton Forsberg, Geoff Baker of the Kraken's official site reports. McCann's injury status wasn't updated after the contest, but given the late timing of the incident, that should be no surprise. The 29-year-old has already dealt with a lower-body injury previously this season, and another issue in a similar area could lead to a significant absence. More information should be available based on whether he travels with the Kraken for Friday's road game versus the Mammoth. He had a power-play goal prior to his exit, giving him eight points through 11 outings this season.

  17D ago • By RotoWire

  McCann scored a goal in Thursday's 9-4 loss to the Oilers. McCann has two points over three games since returning from a lower-body injury. He's at four goals, two assists, 21 shots on net, 13 hits and a plus-1 rating over eight appearances this season. McCann has seamlessly retaken a top-six role and should be in line for ample ice time at even strength and on the power play. The Kraken's weak offense isn't encouraging, but McCann should be among the team's steadiest players.
