The Seattle Kraken have acquired forward Daniel Sprong from the Vancouver Canucks, marking his return to the team after a successful stint in the previous season. Sprong, who has played for multiple NHL teams, including the Pittsburgh Penguins and Detroit Red Wings, had a standout season with the Kraken in 2022-23, scoring 21 goals.
Despite a promising start, the Kraken are struggling offensively this season, ranking 21st in the league for goals per game. With the team missing the playoffs last season and a coaching change underway, Sprong's addition aims to bolster their scoring efforts.
