Seattle Kraken News

After an incredibly successful 18-game stint in Seattle last season, Bobby McMann will remain a member of the Kraken after signing a six-year contract extension worth $5.75 million AAV ($34.5M total) on Sunday. The 30-year-old winger was acquired from Toronto at last year's Trade Deadline for a 2027 2nd round pick and a 2026 4th round pick and immediately made an instant impact, becoming a key member of the Kraken's top-six and putting up 10 goals, 14 points and 58 SOG in 18 games played.

Seattle acquired a new top-six forward on Sunday after the team announced they had traded for Mackie Samoskevich from Florida for the 2026 25th-overall pick and a 2027 conditional 2nd-round pick. Samoskevich is entering his third full NHL season after being drafted by Florida in the 1st round (24th overall) of the 2021 NHL Entry Draft. The scrappy winger has increased his point, SOG and hit totals in every season since entering the NHL and had nine points in the final 10 games played in 2025-26.

Ostman will make his first career NHL start when the Kraken travel to Denver for their regular season finale on Thursday. The 25-year-old did make one relief appearance for Seattle last season and stopped all 12 shots he faced in one period of play. He's appeared in 35 games for Coachella Valley (AHL) this season, posting a 17-14-3 record and a .907 SV%. Ostman's debut matchup on Thursday is made slightly easier thanks to the Avalanche resting the majority of their core players, but the Kraken still enter action at +160 on the money line.

With all three of the Kraken's regular netminders unavailable, Kokko has been thrust into a starting role in the final few games of the regular season. The 22-year-old Swedish goalie has been serviceable in a very small sample size, posting a 2.55 GAA and .911 SV% in two games (1-1-0). The Kraken enter Wednesday's contest as significant +250 road underdogs against a Vegas Golden Knights team on a seven-game winning streak.

Lindgren has appeared in 75 games for Seattle this season but will be the odd man out of the lineup as they head to Vegas on Wednesday. The 28-year-old has had an underwhelming first season in Seattle, with just two goals and nine points to go alongside 60 PIMs in 75 games played.

Wright has not played in over two weeks due to an upper-body injury, but will suit up for the team's final game of the season. The 22-year-old Wright has 26 points (11G / 15A) in 72 games this season.

Meyers has not played in over a week but will draw into Seattle's lineup for the season finale. The 27-year-old forward is averaging 11:53 time-on-ice and has 15 points (7G / 8A) in 50 games this season.

Jaden Schwartz will be a healthy scratch on Wednesday, allowing Nyman to re-enter the lineup. The 21-year-old Nyman has not played a game for Seattle in nearly four weeks. He has six points (2G / 4A) in 26 games this season.

Mahura has only played one game in the last six weeks, but he will suit up in Seattle's final game of the season. The 27-year-old defenseman is averaging 15:26 time-on-ice and has three points (1G / 2A) in 22 games this season.

Fisker Molgaard made his NHL debut this season and has been a regular the past few weeks, but will head back to the Coachella Valley Firebirds (AHL). The 21-yar-old second-round pick from the 2023 NHL Entry Draft scored two assists in 13 games with the Kraken.

Melanson has spent most of the season in the NHL, where he has five points (2G / 3A) in 36 games with the Seattle Kraken. The 22-year-old fifth-round pick from the 2021 NHL Entry Draft returns to the Coachella Valley Firebirds (AHL), where he played almost exclusively the previous two seasons.

Nyman spent the first portion of the season in Seattle, where he struggled with only six points (4G / 2A) in 26 games. The 21-year-old had a lot more success after being reassigned to the Coachella Valley Firebirds (AHL), scoring 33 points (21G / 12A) in 38 games.

With all three of the Kraken's regular netminders unavailable, Kokko made his first career start last week and dazzled between the pipes, saving 26 of 27 shots (.963 SV%) in a 4-1 win over the Calgary Flames. The 22-year-old netminder has spent most of the 2025-26 season in the AHL, where he has gone 18-10-2 with a 3.10 GAA and .903 SV% in 34 games with the Coachella Valley Firebirds. Seattle enters Monday's contest as +139 home underdogs against a desperate Los Angeles Kings team that has won four straight, inching them closer to a playoff berth.

Melanson did not play in Seattle's previous game, but he will re-enter the lineup on Monday. The 22-year-old rookie has five pints (2G / 3A) this season in 35 games.
