Kraken's Ryan Lindgren: Not much action on offense

Nonetheless, the Seattle Kraken have kept Lindgren mainly on the second pairing as a counterbalance to the more talented Brandon Montour.

Kraken's Ryan Lindgren: Good to go
Ryan Lindgren (eye) has been a full participant in practice since Wednesday, Alison Lukan of the Seattle Kraken Hockey Network reports.Lindgren took a puck to the face Sunday and sat out a few days, but it sounds like he's fine now. The 27-year-old defenseman could be an option to dress for Friday's preseason game versus the Canucks. Even if he sees limited preseason action, he's unlikely to miss the regular-season opener Oct. 9 versus the Ducks.

Kraken's Ryan Lindgren: Secures four-year deal
Ryan Lindgren agreed to terms on a four-year, $18 million contract with Seattle on Tuesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.Lindgren crossed the 20-point threshold for the first time in his career after splitting the 2024-25 campaign between the Rangers and the Avalanche. After his move to Colorado, the 27-year-old blueliner struggled to produce offensively with just three points in 18 regular-season games -- though he did manage three points in just seven playoff contests. A lack of power-play responsibilities will prevent Lindgren from being anything more than a mid-range fantasy target.

Avalanche's Ryan Lindgren: Hands out assist in loss
Ryan Lindgren produced an assist in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Stars in Game 7.Lindgren set up a Nathan MacKinnon tally early in the third period. The helper was Lindgren's third over seven playoff contests, and he added 13 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating in the Colorado Avalanche's short postseason run. He was acquired from the Rangers in March, but it's possible the Avalanche viewed the 27-year-old as a pure rental. Lindgren had a career-high 22 points over 72 regular-season outings and will be one of the better shutdown defensemen available in free agency this summer if he makes it to the market.
