Scores in return Wright scored a goal in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Wright returned from missing eight games due to an upper-body injury and was the only Kraken player to solve Carter Hart. The tally gives Wright 12 goals, 27 points, 97 shots on net, 58 blocked shots, 51 hits and a plus-6 rating over 73 appearances this season. That's a large step back from his 44-point campaign in 2024-25, though it's possibly just a sophomore slump -- Wright is still young enough to be a breakout candidate next year.

Returning to lineup Wednesday Wright (upper body) will play Wednesday versus the Golden Knights, per the NHL media site.

Impact Wright will return from an eight-game absence and is expected to fill a middle-six role. The 22-year-old went 16 games without a goal prior to the injury, adding just four assists and 12 shots on net in that span, so he's unlikely to provide much of a boost in fantasy over the Kraken's last two games.

Remains shelved Monday Wright (upper body) will not play in Monday's home matchup against the Kings, per Sound of Hockey.

Impact Wright is set to miss his eighth consecutive game Monday after sustaining his lower-body injury in the first period of Seattle's game on March 28. Overall, the 22-year-old center has 11 goals, 26 points, 96 shots on net, 50 hits and 57 blocked shots across 72 games this season. In his absence, Oscar Fisker Molgaard and Frederick Gaudreau should continue to operate as the Kraken's third and fourth-line centers. Wright's next opportunity to return to the lineup is Wednesday's road clash against the Golden Knights.

Out Saturday Wright (upper body) is expected to miss Saturday's game against Calgary, per Sound of Hockey.

Impact Wright hasn't been in the lineup since March 28 because of the injury. He has 11 goals and 26 points in 72 outings in 2025-26. His next opportunity to return will come Monday versus Los Angeles.

Not expected to play Thursday Wright (upper body) isn't expected to play Thursday against Vegas.

Impact Wright hasn't been in the lineup since March 28 because of the injury. He has 11 goals and 26 points in 72 appearances in 2025-26, which is a big step down from 2024-25 when he recorded 19 goals and 44 points in 79 regular-season outings. The 22-year-old might serve in a middle-six capacity once he's ready to return.

Set to miss out again Monday Wright (upper body) is not expected to play Monday versus the Jets, per NHL.com.

Impact This will be his fourth straight game on the shelf. Wright is currently stuck in a 16-game goal drought during which he has generated four assists, 15 blocked shots and 12 shots on net while averaging 13:29 of ice time. Once given the all-clear, the center should slot back into a bottom-six role, which will limit his opportunities to get back on the scoresheet. Considering the Kraken are heading into a back-to-back, it seems unlikely Wright will be cleared in time to face Minnesota on Tuesday.
