Shane Wright has been reassigned to the Kingston Frontenacs (OHL).

Wright is one day off from scoring one of the goals of the World Junior Tournament as he helped lead Team Canada to a gold medal victory over Czechia but will now head back to Kingston (OHL) instead of Seattle (NHL). In 8 games with the Kraken, he had a goal and an assist but will make a massive addition back to Kingston after 32 goals and 62 assists in 63 games in 2021-22.

The Kraken have claimed Eeli Tolvanen off of waivers from the Predators.

Tolvanen has two goals and two assists (four points) in 13 games with the Predators this season. Since being selected No.30 overall in 2017, Tolvanen has picked up 51 points (25G / 26A) in 135 career NHL games. To make room for Tolvanen, the Kraken waived Karson Kuhlman.

Gustav Olofsson has been recalled from the Coachella Valley Firebirds (AHL).

This will be Olofsson's second crack at the NHL this season after a short one-game stint with the Kraken earlier this season. He is getting the call due to Justin Schultz being placed on the injured reserve after putting up five assists, eight PIMs and a +8 plus/minus through 15 games with Coachella (AHL) prior to his promotion.
