In preparation for tonight's game against the Vegas Golden Knights, the Seattle Kraken revealed their final lineup, and surprise! Young Shane Wright is still out of the lineup.
Seeing him out of the lineup this early in the season was surprising enough, but to see him out for a second straight game, wow.
Wright will have played in only one of his team's first three games, with a total ice time of less than 6 minutes 40 seconds.
Kraken trios for tonight:
"McCann-Beniers-Burakovsky
Sprong-Wennberg-Bjorkstrand
Tanev-Gourde-Eberle
Donato-Geekie-Kuhlman
Defenders:
Dunn-Larsson
Oleksiak-Schultz
Soucy-Borgen
Fleury
Wright is out of the lineup
