The Seattle Kraken will be down a hot hand for the final two games of their current homestand. Depth forward Ben Meyers has been placed on injured reserve due to a lower-body injury that has him out week-to-week.
The Kraken announced last night that they’ve called up forward Ben Meyers from the AHL’s Coachella Valley Firebirds. They moved rookie center Berkly Catton to injured reserve in a corresponding move.
The Seattle Kraken activated center Frédérick Gaudreau off of injured reserve before Saturday’s win over the San Jose Sharks. He came one day short of missing a full month of action, after sustaining an undisclosed injury in Seattle’s October 16th loss to the Ottawa Senators.
