The Seattle Kraken provided several injury updates on their roster as they prepare for the upcoming games. Notably, they announced that star forward Jordan Eberle is expected to miss at least a week due to a lower-body injury sustained in the last game. This development poses a challenge for the Kraken as they rely heavily on Eberle's offensive contributions.
In addition to Eberle, defenseman Adam Larsson has been placed on injured reserve following a lingering upper-body issue. His absence will impact Seattle's defensive lineup, requiring adjustments from the coaching staff to adapt to the changing team dynamics.
Despite these setbacks, head coach Dave Hakstol remains optimistic about the team's depth, emphasizing that this is an opportunity for younger players to step up. The Kraken have called up forward Kole Lind, who is expected to make an impact in Eberle's absence. Hakstol praised Lind’s skill and readiness for the challenge ahead.
As the Kraken navigate through this injury-laden phase, they will look to their remaining core players to maintain their competitive edge in the Western Conference. The upcoming games will be crucial for them as they aim to solidify their playoff position in a tightly contested league.
