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.
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.
