Rotowire
Winterton scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Panthers.
Winterton has three points over his last five games after spending three contests in the press box. The 22-year-old forward is doing well in a fourth-line role when he gets to play, though he's had to share the spot with Jacob Melanson lately. Winterton is up to four goals, 18 points, 72 shots on net, 57 hits, 27 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 61 appearances. His goal Sunday was his first career game-winner.

Kraken's Ryan Winterton: Extends with Seattle
Rotowire
Winterton signed a two-year, $2.25 million contract extension with the Kraken on Tuesday.
Winterton is in the final year of his entry-level contract, and he's emerged as a reliable bottom-six forward and penalty killer. He has picked up 15 points, 61 shots on net, 48 hits and 25 blocked shots over 54 appearances this season. Winterton is just 22 years old, so he may be able to grow into a more significant role during his new contract.

Kraken's Ryan Winterton: Pots goal Tuesday
Rotowire
Winterton scored a goal in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.
Winterton's two goals this year have come over the last four games. The 22-year-old is doing a good job of maintaining a bottom-six spot in the lineup. That's not a role that will lead to much offense, but he could play himself into more ice time as the season progresses. Winterton has three points, 14 shots on net, 18 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 16 appearances.
