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

  16D ago • 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.

• Kraken's Shane Wright: Reassigned to minors

  04/12/2024 • By RotoWire

  Wright was demoted to AHL Coachella Valley on Friday. Wright has been solid at the NHL level this season, tallying four goals and one assist in eight contests. With the Kraken not making the playoffs, the club could decide to leave Wright in the minors the rest of the way rather than bringing him back up ahead of Saturday's matchup with Dallas. If that's the case, Pierre-Edouard Bellemare could rejoin the lineup.

  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.
