Sprong heads back to Seattle where he spent parts of 2021-22 season and the entire 2022-23 season. He played just nine games with the Canucks after signing a one-year deal with them in the off-season, scoring one goal and adding two assists. Sprong enjoyed the most productive season of his career with the Kraken, tallying 21 goals and 25 assists in 66 games in 2022-23.

Sprong played in Detroit during the 2023-24 season, scoring 18 goals with 25 assists (43 points) in 76 games while playing all over the lineup.

Sprong finished his 2022-23 season with 21 goals, 25 assists, 147 SOG, 14 PIMs and a +13 plus/minus through 66 games and is expected to play in Game 1 Tuesday vs. Colorado after being a game-time decision originally due to an undisclosed injury.
