Jared McCann (undisclosed) did not travel with Seattle to Dallas for their opening two games and is considered out.

McCann last played in Game 4 of the Kraken's first series where he was forced to leave due to an undisclosed injury after taking a hit from Cale Makar, and will now be out for at least the first two games of round two as he is not travelling with the team. It is a massive loss for Seattle, as McCann led the team in regular season scoring with 40 goals, 70 points, and a +18 plus/minus through 79 games.

The 31-year-old was a godsend in the Kraken's opening series, going 4-3-0 with a 2.44 GAA and .926 SV%. He takes on the Dallas Stars in round two on the road Tuesday, who is fresh off a 4-2 series victory over the Minnesota Wild and finished the regular season seventh in the NHL in goals per game (3.43).
