Kraken's Jake O'Brien: Officially on non-roster list
O'Brien (lower body) was placed on non-roster injured reserve Wednesday.
O'Brien was initially announced on injured reserve Sunday, but his status has since been clarified. He is considered week-to-week at this time. The Kraken have a few options for when he gets healthy -- as a 19-year-old first-round pick (2025), he is eligible for the AHL if Seattle thinks that would be best for his development.

Kraken's Jake O'Brien: Shifts to IR Sunday
O'Brien (lower body) was placed on injured reserve on Sunday.
O'Brien was held out of Seattle's lineup for their preseason contest Thursday. The 19-year-old center was exceptional with OHL Brantford in 2025-26, where he compiled 28 goals and 93 points across 53 regular-season games. Once O'Brien is ready to go, the Kraken will have to decide whether they want to try him out with their current roster, or push off his NHL debut by potentially optioning him to AHL Coachella Valley.

Kraken's Jake O'Brien: Won't play Thursday
O'Brien (lower body) isn't in the lineup for Thursday's preseason game against Calgary, per Sound of Hockey.
O'Brien had 28 goals and 93 points in 53 regular-season appearances with OHL Brantford in 2025-26. Seattle's final preseason game will be played in Vancouver on Saturday.

Kraken's Jake O'Brien: Deemed day-to-day
O'Brien (lower body) will not practice Tuesday and is considered day-to-day.
After a strong performance to open the 2026-27 preseason by recording a pair of points, O'Brien will stay in street clothes during Tuesday's practice. The 19-year-old center was incredibly effective with OHL Brandford last season, where he posted 28 goals and 93 points across 53 regular-season outings. While he's on the fringe of making Seattle's Opening Night roster, he holds a high ceiling and will continue to battle for a spot in the Kraken's forward core.

Kraken's Jake O'Brien: Won't play in prospect showcase
The Kraken announced Friday that O'Brien won't play in the upcoming prospect showcase due to precautionary reasons.
It seems unlikely that O'Brien's availability for the start of training camp or the beginning of the 2026-27 regular season will be impacted by his absence from the prospect showcase, but the Kraken will elect to play it safe with one of their most promising young players. The 19-year-old hasn't yet made his NHL debut, but he recorded 28 goals, 65 assists and 28 PIM across 53 regular-season appearances with OHL Brandford last year.
