• Kraken's Shane Wright: Checks back in, earns two points

  18H ago • By RotoWire

  Wright scored a goal, dished an assist, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 3-2 win over the Ducks. Wright had been scratched for the previous three games amid a 13-game drought. He clearly got the message, scoring the opening goal at 7:12 of the first period before setting up Brandon Montour's game-winning tally in the third. Wright's two ventures onto the scoresheet have been multi-point efforts -- he has two goals, two assists, 13 shots on net, 11 blocked shots, six PIM and a plus-2 rating over 19 appearances this season. The 20-year-old is likely to be limited to bottom-six minutes until he can provide more consistency on offense.

• Kraken's Shane Wright: Loses lineup spot

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Wright was scratched for a third straight game Saturday in a 2-1 loss to the Kings. The Kraken rotated Wright out of the lineup Nov. 17 versus the Rangers. Seattle has lost two of the three games he's sat out, scoring just four goals in that span, so it's possible he gets a look again soon. Prior to the scratches, Wright had gone 13 games without a point. He has just two points over 18 appearances this season -- dynasty managers will want to weather the storm, but Wright is not an option in redraft leagues at this time. If he can't up his game soon, he may be ticketed for a trip to AHL Coachella Valley.

• Kraken's Shane Wright: Breaks through with two points

  10/18/2024 • By RotoWire

  Wright scored a goal, dished an assist and added two PIM in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Flyers. While Wright has played well early in the year, he didn't have anything to show for it until Thursday. He helped out on an Eeli Tolvanen tally in the second period and then scored a goal of his own about three minutes later, which was the game-winner. Wright is centering Jared McCann and Jordan Eberle on what's emerged as the Kraken's top line, though the team's forwards often have varied ice time based on the flow of the game. Wright is at two points, six shots on net, three hits and a plus-4 rating over five appearances while averaging 14:16 of ice time per game.

  04/06/2024 • By RotoWire

  Wright scored twice on five shots and added a power-play assist in Friday's 3-1 win over the Ducks. Wright turned in the best game of his young career to lead the Kraken to victory. He tipped in a shot for the opening goal, scored again early in the second period and set up a Matty Beniers tally midway through the middle frame. Wright's four points this season have come over the last three contests, and he's added 10 shots on net and an even plus-minus-rating through six NHL outings overall.

• Kraken's Shane Wright: Tallies game-winner Monday

  04/02/2024 • By RotoWire

  Wright scored a goal on four shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Sharks. The kid gloves came off for Wright in this one -- he was plopped right onto the second line between Jordan Eberle and Jaden Schwartz. The 20-year-old Wright's goal, his first point in four NHL appearances this season, was the game-winner. He also won 10 of 18 faceoffs over 15:14 of ice time. The Kraken appear set to give some of their best prospects a taste of the NHL down the stretch before sending them back to the AHL for Coachella Valley's playoff run.
