The Seattle Kraken, after showing significant promise in their sophomore season, have had a shaky start to the 2023-24 season, logging a 1-4-1 record in their opening six matches.
Burakovsky's Setback
To compound their challenges, the team received a blow with the announcement that their star winger, Andre Burakovsky, will be sidelined for 6-8 weeks. This means he's set to miss the remainder of 2023.
Last season, Burakovsky contributed significantly to the Kraken's success, scoring 13 goals and recording 39 points in 49 games.
His absence could potentially hinder the team's performance in the already competitive Pacific Division.
Looking Ahead
Despite this setback, the Kraken possess the depth to recover and push for a playoff spot this season.
However, the absence of an elite scorer like Burakovsky will undoubtedly make their ascent in the standings more challenging.
