Kraken Activate Ryan Lindgren, Reassign Logan Morrison

The Seattle Kraken have activated defenseman Ryan Lindgren from injured reserve, the team announced this morning. To make room on the roster, forward Logan Morrison has been reassigned to AHL Coachella Valley.

Lindgren left Seattle’s October 6 game against the Vegas Golden Knights with an upper-body injury and was placed on IR two days later. At the time, he was given a four-to-six-week recovery window and returns after roughly five and a half weeks, just in time for Saturday’s Global Series finale against the Carolina Hurricanes in Helsinki. The former second-round pick had no points and a +3 rating through Seattle’s first four games before the injury. In the 13 games he has missed, the Kraken went 7-5-1 over that stretch to reach 9-7-1 overall.

While the team overall has held their own over the last month, sitting just two points back of the third spot in the Pacific, his return could help steady a Seattle defense that has struggled without him. The Kraken entered the Global Series 29th in goals allowed per game and 31st on the penalty kill. Lindgren is in the second year of the four-year, $18MM contract he signed in free agency in July 2025.

Morrison was called up on November 8 as extra forward depth for the trip to Finland. With only one game left before the Kraken head home, he goes back to the Firebirds, where he has three goals and nine points in 12 games this season. The 24-year-old led Coachella Valley with 61 points in 68 games last year. His only NHL experience is four games in 2023-24, and he is still looking for his first NHL point.
