Seattle Kraken's young talents Ryker Evans and Tye Kartye are making changes to their jersey numbers for the upcoming 2024-25 NHL season. Kartye is switching from number 52 to 12, a number he previously wore in the AHL and juniors, while Evans will return to his former number 41, which he wore before giving it up last season.

Evans, a 22-year-old defenseman, aims to solidify his position in the NHL, having found success at lower levels. Last season, while wearing number 39, he made notable contributions with one goal and nine points.

Kartye, who recorded 11 goals and 20 points last season, is expected to play a pivotal role as he looks to enhance his offensive game. Both players hope that their number changes will invigorate their performances and support the Kraken's playoff ambitions.
