Jared McCann’s 10-week absence leaves Seattle Kraken without their top scorer

Seattle Kraken forward Jared McCann is expected to miss approximately 10 weeks with a lower-body injury, the team announced Sunday, Oct. 25. The club placed him on injured reserve.

McCann is Seattle’s all-time leader in both goals, with 141, and points, with 291. His absence removes a key scorer from the lineup for a substantial stretch of the season.

The team did not provide further details about the injury in its announcement. The 10-week estimate would put McCann’s potential return around early January, though the timeline is approximate.
