Kraken Announce Veteran Forward Is Day-To-Day
Seattle Kraken forward Chandler Stephenson is day-to-day with an upper-body injury, head coach Dan Bylsma announced on Monday.
The 30-year-old exited the Kraken's 4-0 defeat against the Minnesota Wild on Wednesday with an injury and did not return. He played just 15 shifts and 11:33 of ice time before leaving. He also did not participate in their 5-4 loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday.
Stephenson signed a long-term contract with the Kraken in the offseason in hopes of helping the team push for a playoff spot. Although it seems very likely the Kraken won't make it to the postseason, Stephenson has still been able to produce a fairly positive output.
In 69 games, the playmaking center has scored 11 goals and 48 points in 69 games, three fewer points than he recorded last season with the Vegas Golden Knights.
With Stephenson out, Tye Kartye jumped back into the lineup, shifting John Hayden into a center role. Hayden has spent most of the season with the Firebirds in the AHL and when he has been up with the Kraken, he's played on the fourth line.
Stephenson practiced on a separate rink in a non-contact jersey today, but the Kraken have not revealed if he'll travel with the team to Calgary. The Kraken return to Seattle on Thursday when they take on the Oilers.
