Impact The helper was Sprong's first point as a Devil, to go with 14 shots on goal and 16 hits over eight contests. The 28-year-old has seen bottom-six minutes and a little power-play time on the second unit, though he's also been scratched six times since he was traded from Seattle. Between the Canucks, Kraken and Devils, Sprong has been limited to six points in 27 contests while adding 45 shots on net, 27 hits and an even plus-minus rating at the NHL level this season.

Called up from AHL Sprong was recalled from the minors on Saturday.

Impact Sprong was playing in Coachella Valley of the AHL before he was dealt to the Devils organization Friday for a seventh-round pick. He had 11 goals and 14 assists in 19 games with Coachella Valley after spending 19 games at the NHL level with Seattle and Vancouver, scoring a pair of goals and adding three assists. Sprong looks at this time to be a depth forward for New Jersey ahead of Sunday's contest in Philadelphia.

Traded for draft pick Sprong was acquired by New Jersey from Seattle on Friday in exchange for a seventh-round pick, per Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle.

Impact Sprong has two goals and five points in 19 appearances between Vancouver and Seattle in 2024-25. Before the trade, he was playing for AHL Coachella Valley, recording 11 goals and 25 points across 19 outings. Sprong will probably remain in the minors unless New Jersey runs into further injury troubles.

Seattle Kraken Put Daniel Sprong On NHL Waivers Two Months After Acquiring Him The Seattle Kraken have placed Daniel Sprong on waivers after playing 10 games with the team this season.

JANUARY 8 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

On waivers Sprong was put on waivers by Seattle on Wednesday.

Impact Sprong has two goals and five points in 19 appearances between Vancouver and Seattle in 2024-25. He's been a healthy scratch for each of Seattle's past four games.

Adds helper in comeback win Sprong notched an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Canucks.

Impact Sprong played on the second line while Andre Burakovsky (illness) sat out. The 27-year-old Sprong helped out on the first of Jaden Schwartz's two goals in the Kraken's furious third-period comeback. With just two points over 10 appearances since the Kraken reacquired Sprong in a trade with the Canucks, the winger has done little to secure a spot in the lineup. He has five points, 31 shots on net, 11 hits and a minus-1 rating over 19 outings this season.

DECEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Limited action since trade Sprong has played in just nine of 19 games since he was traded to the Kraken from the Canucks.

Impact In that span, Sprong has just one goal on 12 shots, six hits and a minus-1 rating. The 27-year-old's second stint with the Kraken has not reignited his offense, and he hasn't seen power-play time in his last three contests. Sprong has just four points with 31 shots on net, 11 hits and a minus-3 rating over 18 appearances, so his fantasy upside is the lowest its been in three years.

DECEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Opens scoring in second period Sprong scored a goal on a game-high six shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Predators.

Impact Sprong scored at 15:55 of the second period, his first point in three games since the Kraken reacquired him in a trade with the Canucks. The winger saw 14:10 of ice time Wednesday, his most since the trade. The 27-year-old is typically best suited to bottom-six minutes at even strength and a hefty power-play role. Over 12 outings this season, he has two goals, two assists, 26 shots on net, five hits and a minus-1 rating. He'll have an uphill battle to earn a third straight 40-point campaign, but he should get more opportunities in Seattle than he did in Vancouver.

Reporting Friday Sprong has had his immigration paperwork approved and he will join the Kraken on Friday, Kate Shefte of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Sprong was dealt from Vancouver a week ago and he finally was able to cross the border to join up with his new teammates. Sprong had a goal and two assists in nine games with Vancouver. He will likely see bottom-six minutes with the Kraken, as well as playing on the second power-play unit.

Still not in Seattle Per Kate Shefte of The Seattle Times, Sprong has yet to arrive in Seattle due to immigration problems, coach Dan Bylsma said Thursday.

Impact The Kraken are expecting Sprong -- who was dealt from Vancouver on Friday, to finally get through immigration, in time for weekend games against the Islanders and Rangers. The 27-year-old had a goal and two assists with 19 shots on net in nine games with the Canucks before the deal. Look for Sprong to see bottom-six minutes with the Kraken, as well as some power-play time.

Returning to Seattle Sprong was traded from the Canucks to the Kraken on Friday in exchange for future considerations.

Impact Sprong's stay in Vancouver lasted one month of the regular season and saw him produce just three points over nine appearances. He now returns to the location of his best season to date (21 goals, 46 points in 66 contests in 2022-23). Sprong's role likely won't change much in Seattle -- he's a fourth-liner at even strength who can use a strong shot to help on the power play. Given the Kraken have less high-end talent on the roster, Sprong could carve out a bit more ice time if he hits the ground running in his second stint with the team.

Produces helper Sprong logged an assist, three shots on goal, three hits and two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Penguins.

Impact Sprong has not been a consistent part of the Canucks' lineup -- he's been scratched three times over the team's seven games so far. The 27-year-old has often played on the fourth line, earning two points ,nine shots on net, three hits and a minus-1 rating. Sprong also plays on the second power-play unit when in the lineup, but the risk of him being scratched frequently makes him unreliable for fantasy purposes.

Tallies on power play Sprong scored a power-play goal on two shots in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Flames.

Impact Sprong had the Canucks' first goal of the season as the second power-play unit cashed in midway through the first period. The 27-year-old winger began the game on a line with Elias Pettersson, but Sprong ended up with just 13:07 of ice time, third-lowest among Vancouver skaters. He's developed a reputation as a power-play specialist over the last two seasons, earning 26 of his 89 points in that span with the man advantage. As such, it wouldn't be a surprise for Sprong to ultimately end up in a bottom-six role, though that shouldn't hurt his fantasy value in formats that heavily reward offense.
