McCann scored the game-winning goal in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Golden Knights.
McCann's goal officially clocked in at 4:56 of the extra session. He added three shots on net and two hits in the contest. The 29-year-old has a pair of goals, six shots, three hits and two blocked shots over two games this season while playing in his usual top-six role. His 22 goals last year were his fewest in a season with the Kraken, and that came on a 10.9 shooting percentage that was also on the low end. McCann could be poised for a bounce-back year as long as the lower-body injury that sidelined him in training camp doesn't rear its head again.

Rotowire
McCann scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Ducks.

McCann missed nearly all of training camp due to a lower-body injury, but it appears the Kraken were just making sure one of their top forwards would be ready for the regular season. He'll be a regular in the top six and on the power play throughout 2025-26.

Kraken's Jared McCann: Ready for opener
Rotowire
McCann (lower body) will be in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Ducks, per Sound of Hockey.
McCann is set to play on the top line after missing all of the preseason while recovering from his injury. The 29-year-old is one of the Kraken's top forwards and has reached the 60-point mark in three straight years, so he should be productive if he's at 100 percent.

Kraken's Jared McCann: Resumes skating
Rotowire
McCann (lower body) skated away from the main group Sunday and should be ready for the start of the regular season, Sound of Hockey reports.
While McCann may sit out the remainder of the exhibition schedule, he is trending toward playing against Anaheim on Oct. 9. He compiled 22 goals, 61 points and 202 shots on net across 82 games during the 2024-25 regular season. Once healthy, McCann will probably occupy a top-six role and see power-play time.

Kraken's Jared McCann: Absent from lineup
Rotowire
McCann (lower body) will not be in action versus Vancouver on Friday, Alison Lukan of the Kraken Hockey Network reports.
McCann was labeled day-to-day by the team Sunday but remains on the shelf heading into Friday's contest. The 29-year-old winger hasn't been ruled out for Opening Night against the Ducks on Oct. 9 and has two more opportunities to get into a preseason contest. Barring any setbacks, McCann should be capable of reaching the 60-point threshold for the fourth consecutive campaign.

Kraken's Jared McCann: Healthy ahead of camp
Rotowire
McCann (undisclosed) is not listed with an injury on the Kraken's official training camp roster released Wednesday.
McCann underwent a surgery after the 2024-25 campaign to address an injury that he played through for most of the campaign. The 29-year-old's recovery time was listed as six weeks, so it's not a surprise that he is healthy and ready to go for 2025-26. McCann figures to spend the upcoming season in a top-six role and on the first power-play unit.

Kraken's Jared McCann: Slated to undergo surgery
Rotowire
McCann announced Wednesday that he'll undergo surgery Monday to address an undisclosed issue that he dealt with throughout the season, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Although McCann appeared in all 82 games for the Kraken this season, he was apparently dealing with an undisclosed injury and will require approximately six weeks to recover during the offseason. However, it wouldn't be surprising to see him back in action once training camp begins ahead of the 2025-26 season. The 28-year-old recorded 22 goals, 39 assists, 50 blocked shots, 47 hits and 18 PIM while averaging 17:13 of ice time this year.

Kraken's Jared McCann: Reaches 60-point mark in loss
Rotowire
McCann scored a goal in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
McCann was able to poke in a puck late in the second period, but that was all the Kraken could put up against Adin Hill. A late surge -- six goals and 15 points over the last 12 games -- has gotten McCann to the 60-point mark this season. He's added 198 shots on net, 50 blocked shots, 47 hits and a plus-10 rating over 80 appearances. He's looked his best this year alongside Shane Wright and Andre Burakovsky, though McCann has been able to find success in a variety of spots in the lineup.

Rotowire
McCann produced three assists, two shots on goal, five blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Canucks.
This was a great all-around performance from McCann, who bounced back after his four-game point streak was snapped Monday versus the Stars. The 28-year-old has two goals and eight assists across his last eight outings. For the season, he's up to 55 points, 186 shots on net, 46 hits, 47 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 76 appearances. It's been far from his best campaign, but he still has a plausible chance at the 60-point mark for the third straight year.

Rotowire
McCann managed an assist, seven shots on goal and two hits in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Stars.
McCann has a goal and five helpers during his four-game point streak. His most recent assist set up Eeli Tolvanen's tally in the first period, which was all the Kraken could muster Saturday. McCann is up to 52 points, 182 shots on net and a plus-7 rating across 74 appearances. While he's unlikely to hit the 60 point mark, he continues to be a fairly reliable scorer in the Kraken's lineup even in a down year by his recent standards.

Kraken's Jared McCann: Goal, assist in win
Rotowire
McCann scored a goal on four shots, dished a power-play assist, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Oilers.
McCann's offense continues to bounce back after a rough month coming out of the 4 Nations Face-Off break. He has two goals and four assists over his last five games, with three of those helpers coming on the power play. He's up to 18 goals, 51 points (14 on the power play), 175 shots on net, 43 hits, 41 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through 73 outings overall. If the Kraken can keep racking up goals late in the season, McCann is likely to be involved regularly.

Kraken's Jared McCann: Pockets pair of helpers
Rotowire
McCann notched two assists, two shots on goal and two PIM in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Oilers.
McCann helped out on third-period tallies by Andre Burakovsky and Jaden Schwartz, with the latter's goal coming on a late power play. The 28-year-old McCann has three points over his last three contests, but his offense has largely been spotty since the start of February -- this was his first multi-point effort since Jan. 25 against the Penguins. For the season, he's at 17 goals, 31 helpers, 168 shots on net, 42 hits, 38 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 71 appearances. Despite his recent struggles, McCann should be able to reach the 50-point mark for the fourth year in a row.

Kraken's Jared McCann: Tallies game-winner Saturday
Rotowire
McCann scored a goal on five shots in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Panthers.
McCann had racked up six assists during a nine-game goal drought, which ended with his tally at 7:03 of the third period Saturday. This was his 15th goal of the season and his second game-winner. The 28-year-old forward is up to 43 points, 133 shots on net and a plus-8 rating through 58 appearances. He's under contract for two more seasons beyond this one at a cap hit of $5 million, but McCann's name has been in trade rumors with the Kraken lagging behind in the playoff race. If he's dealt, he's unlikely to land in as good of a position as he's had in Seattle.
