Jordan Eberle is set to make his return to the Seattle Kraken lineup after a grueling rehabilitation journey that followed an unprecedented pelvic injury. The Kraken captain, who missed 40 games, suffered the injury in a game against the Chicago Blackhawks. His recovery involved consultation with rugby experts and a tough 14-week rehab process. Eberle expressed confidence in his readiness, noting he feels in game shape and is eager to regain his timing and aggressiveness on the ice.
Kraken coach Dan Bylsma and GM Ron Francis have both shown optimism about Eberle’s return. Bylsma highlighted the captain's work ethic and determination, while Francis noted the typical ups and downs that come with returning from injury. Eberle’s potential impact is significant, given his strong start to the season with 11 points in 17 games. His leadership and skill are crucial as the Kraken look to make a playoff push.
