The Seattle Kraken practiced this morning ahead of their season opener against the St. Louis Blues, giving fans a glimpse of what their lineup will look like.
Throughout pre-season, Vince Dunn, Andre Burakovsky, Tye Kartye, Jared McCann, Jordan Eberle and Yanni Gourde have all missed practice due to maintenance or small injuries but were all present and participating in Monday's practice.
Not much has changed from the beginning of camp besides a bit of movement in the Kraken's bottom six. The defence pairs are also what many expected them to be.
McCann-Beniers-Eberle
Schwartz-Stephenson-Burakovsky
Tolvanen-Wright-Bjorkstrand
Kartye-Gourde-Tanev
Dunn-Larsson
Oleksiak-Montour
Evans-Borgen
Mahura
Grubauer
Daccord
The Kraken also worked on their special teams running two power play units. Group one featured, Matty Beniers, McCann, Burakovsky, Eberle and Dunn. Group two had Chandler Stephenson, Oliver Bjorkstrand, Shane Wright, Jaden Schwartz and Brandon Montour.
Dan Bylsma spoke to the media and mentioned that the same four players as last year will be part of the leadership group (Gourde, Eberle, Larsson, Schwartz) and that fans will have to wait until puck drop to see if the team is picking a captain.
Puck drop is tommorow at 1:30 P.M. PST at Climate Pledge Arena.
