Seattle anticipates the return of Jared McCann, who missed several games due to a lower-body injury but participated fully in the Kraken’s Wednesday morning skate. Kaapo Kakko has resumed practice but is not yet cleared for contact.
This matchup promises to highlight the skills of key player talents and the competitive nature of both teams as they face off this Saturday night.
