They didn’t get that luck on Sunday, though, when they announced Jared McCann injury news.
The update will keep McCann off the ice for multiple months. It’s a bad outcome for Seattle.

Because of the lack of information in reporting hockey injuries, it hadn’t been clear that McCann would be out for so long.

The Kraken announced before their Saturday clash with the Minnesota Wild that McCann would be out with a lower-body injury. They recalled forward Jani Nyman from the AHL to take McCann’s spot on the roster.
