Despite the Seattle Kraken’s recent 1-7-1 skid, forward Shane Wright has shown some good play, and Emerald City Spectrum spoke with him and others Monday about what the team needs to do to right the ship.

All signs point to Kaapo Kakko returning from his broken hand on Saturday, when the Kraken host his former team, the Rangers. Two of his projected linemates spoke 1-on-1 with the Emerald City Spectrum to discuss what the 24-year-old forward brings to the lineup.

Despite the comeback going incomplete in overtime, Kraken head coach Lane Lambert made a personnel decision to jumpstart the team down three with 14 minutes left that allowed Seattle to come away from their Tuesday game with a point.

Continuing a trend from training camp, the Kraken can’t shake the injury bug on a challenging road trip that will test depth tremendously.
