SHANE WRIGHT NEWS

Three-game, five-point streak Wright scored twice Friday in an 8-5 loss to the Sharks.

Impact Wright is riding a three-game, five-point scoring streak that includes three goals and seven shots. The Kraken has done a good job letting this talented pivot's development stew in the AHL and now in the NHL. But Wright is stuck on a Kraken team that hasn't taken the step forward that was perhaps expected. His redraft value is low, but he remains a solid keeper option. In the immediate future, we want Wright to start wiring the puck a bit more. He has just 19 shots in 21 games this season.

Pockets helper Wednesday Wright logged an assist and three shots on goal in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Ducks.

Impact Wright has three points over two contests since he returned from a three-game stint as a healthy scratch. It's a positive sign he's learned from his time out of the lineup, but the 20-year-old will need to sustain his offense over a longer stretch to be trusted in redraft formats. For the season, he has five points, 16 shots on net, nine hits, 11 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 20 appearances.

Checks back in, earns two points Wright scored a goal, dished an assist, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 3-2 win over the Ducks.

Impact Wright had been scratched for the previous three games amid a 13-game drought. He clearly got the message, scoring the opening goal at 7:12 of the first period before setting up Brandon Montour's game-winning tally in the third. Wright's two ventures onto the scoresheet have been multi-point efforts -- he has two goals, two assists, 13 shots on net, 11 blocked shots, six PIM and a plus-2 rating over 19 appearances this season. The 20-year-old is likely to be limited to bottom-six minutes until he can provide more consistency on offense.

Loses lineup spot Wright was scratched for a third straight game Saturday in a 2-1 loss to the Kings.

Impact The Kraken rotated Wright out of the lineup Nov. 17 versus the Rangers. They've lost two of the three games he's sat out, scoring just four goals in that span, so it's possible he gets a look again soon. Prior to the scratches, he had gone 13 games without a point. He has just two points over 18 appearances this season -- dynasty managers will want to weather the storm, but Wright is not an option in redraft leagues at this time. If he can't up his game soon, he may be ticketed for a trip to AHL Coachella Valley.

Breaks through with two points Wright scored a goal, dished an assist and added two PIM in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Flyers.

Impact While Wright has played well early in the year, he didn't have anything to show for it until Thursday. He helped out on an Eeli Tolvanen tally in the second period and then scored a goal of his own about three minutes later, which was the game-winner. Wright is centering Jared McCann and Jordan Eberle on what's emerged as the Kraken's top line, though the team's forwards often have varied ice time based on the flow of the game. Wright is at two points, six shots on net, three hits and a plus-4 rating over five appearances while averaging 14:16 of ice time per game.

Makes good impression Wright scored twice on five shots in Wednesday's 6-2 preseason win over the Oilers.

Impact Wright ends the preseason with three goals in four games after tallying twice in the second period Wednesday. He made a spin move to bury his first goal before striking from the top of the right circle for his second tally. The 20-year-old is expected to begin in the NHL this year, though he'll likely have to settle for middle-six minutes initially.

Reassigned to minors Wright was demoted to AHL Coachella Valley on Friday.

Impact Wright has been solid at the NHL level this season, tallying four goals and one assist in eight contests. With the Kraken not making the playoffs, the club could decide to leave Wright in the minors the rest of the way rather than bringing him back up ahead of Saturday's matchup with Dallas. If that's the case, Pierre-Edouard Bellemare could rejoin the lineup.

Impact Wright tallied at 1:08 of the first period for his fourth goal in as many games since he was recalled from AHL Coachella Valley. He also went 11-for-16 on faceoffs Tuesday. The Kraken have given Wright a trial run as the second-line center and it's going well. The 20-year-old has five points, 11 shots on net, five blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over seven appearances this season.

Best game of young career Wright scored twice on five shots and added a power-play assist in Friday's 3-1 win over the Ducks.

Impact Wright turned in the best game of his young career to lead the Kraken to victory. He tipped in a shot for the opening goal, scored again early in the second period and set up a Matty Beniers tally midway through the middle frame. Wright's four points this season have come over the last three contests, and he's added 10 shots on net and an even plus-minus-rating through six outings overall.

Tallies game-winner Monday Wright scored a goal on four shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

Impact The kid gloves came off for Wright in this one -- he was plopped right onto the second line between Jared McCann and Jaden Schwartz. The 20-year-old Wright's goal, his first point in four NHL appearances this season, was the game-winner. He also won 10 of 18 faceoffs over 15:14 of ice time. The Kraken appear set to give some of their best prospects a taste of the NHL down the stretch before sending them back to the AHL for Coachella Valley's playoff run.
