Seattle Starts Season With Five Players On COVID-19 List
3 years agoThe Seattle Kraken could be very short-handed for their first-ever regular season game on Tuesday at Vegas as five players find themselves on the COVID-19 list. Calle Jarnkrok has already been ruled out for the contest, and Marcus Johansson, Jared McCann, Joonas Donskoi and Jamie Oleksiak could join him on the sidelines. Alex Wennberg is set to replace McCann as the top-line center, while depth forwards like Brandon Tanev are set to get a chance to play in a bigger role. Johansson, McCann, Donskoi and Oleksiak might be cleared come game time, but it's not a safe bet. Seattle is also without Yanni Gourde (shoulder) and Colin Blackwell (lower body).
