Seattle Kraken winger Daniel Sprong (undisclosed) won't feature in Tuesday's Game 4 against the Stars. He was forced to leave Sunday's Game 3 early with an undisclosed injury and hasn't been able to recover in time for Tuesday's game. Sprong had a superb 46-point campaign during the regular season in a very limited role, but he's struggled to make an impact in the postseason, logging only one goal and one assist in 10 games. The 26-year-old is considered day-to-day and will get his first opportunity to return Thursday.
Seattle Kraken winger Daniel Sprong (undisclosed) is regarded as a game-time decision for Tuesday's playoff opener against Colorado. After sitting out a few practices, Sprong was back on the ice Tuesday morning, which indicates that he is trending in the right direction, but it remains to be seen if he will be in the lineup for Game 1. The 26-year-old had a very productive regular season in a limited role, posting a career-high 46 points in 66 games despite averaging less than 12 minutes of ice time per game. Only Jared McCann (40) and Matthew Beniers (24) scored more goals than Sprong (21) for Seattle.
Seattle Kraken winger Daniel Sprong (undisclosed) is in danger of missing Tuesday's Game 1 against Colorado, with the team considering him day-to-day. The 26-year-old, who enjoyed a career year with 21 goals and 46 points in 66 games during the regular season, has missed the last few practice sessions and it's unclear if he will be game-ready by Tuesday. Tye Kartye has been called up from the AHL in case Sprong isn't available. Kartye has had a nice pro debut with the Coachella Valley Firebirds, recording 28 goals and 57 points in 72 games, so he looks like a decent replacement for Sprong, who impressively was close to having a 50-point campaign despite averaging only 11:25 of ice time.
Seattle Kraken winger Daniel Sprong is set to rejoin the action Tuesday against Anaheim. He has watched the last two games from the sidelines as a healthy scratch. Ryan Donato is set to make way for Sprong. The 25-year-old has played in only two of the team's last six games, but Sprong has actually been very good for the Kraken in a limited role, registering 15 goals and 17 assists in 48. He's the team's third-highest goal-scorer despite having averaged 11:15 of ice time across the season.
Seattle Kraken winger Daniel Sprong finished the scoring in Monday's 6-1 victory over the Kings and now has a three-game goal streak. He was busy all night and led the team with five shots. Sproing played 15:14, including 0:34 on the power play. The 25-year-old hasn't needed any time at all to adjust to his new surrounding and has scored in every game as a Kraken player. He has tied Danton Heinen for the longest goal streak by a player from the start of their tenure with a new team this season. Sprong, who sits on 11 goals and 17 points for the year in 50 appearances, will try to take his streak to four games on Wednesday versus Vegas.
Daniel Sprong Will Sit Sunday Afternoon Against Carolina
Washington Capitals right-winger Daniel Sprong will not be in the lineup on Sunday afternoon in Carolina. The forward had gone pointless in his previous three games and was a -5 on top of it. If that was not bad enough, Sprong just could not generate anything offensively as he was bumped from the middle-six into the bottom-six (played just 9:21 versus Florida). Maybe a rest will do him some good. Since his two-point effort versus Pittsburgh a couple weeks ago, Sprong has just one point and has largely struggled since going with a shot in San Jose.
Daniel Sprong Takes Over For T.J. Oshie On Second Line
Washington Capitals winger Daniel Sprong will re-enter the lineup on Friday against Arizona, taking over from T.J. Oshie (lower body) on the second line. The 24-year-old was a healthy scratch for Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to Detroit, but Oshie got hurt in the game blocking a shot and his absence gives Sprong a chance to make his return as a top-six forward. He'll log power-play time as well on the second unit. Sprong has notched just two points this season, but he's averaged fewer than 11 minutes of ice time and should be much more productive in a bigger role. He's produced a number of good scoring spurts in his career and has 52 points in 145 career games.
Washington Capitals winger Daniel Sprong bagged another goal in Monday's 6-3 win over the Rangers, registering the game-winner 4:37 into the third period. The 24-year-old has now scored five times in his past five outings. Sprong has been huge for the Capitals in recent times with Alex Ovechkin struggling to stay healthy. Washington's captain returned from a four-game absence on Monday but skated only for 39 seconds before leaving with a lower-body injury. Sprong has 12 goals and 19 points in 39 games for the campaign. He gets a chance to try his luck again versus New York on Wednesday.
Daniel Sprong Contributes Two Tallies In Capitals Win
Washington Capitals winger Daniel Sprong added his eighth and ninth markers in 2021 in a 6-3 victory over the New York Islanders on Saturday. Sprong made the most of his opportunity skating alongside Evgeny Kuznetsov and Tom Wilson on the Capitals first line. The Washington winger has produced 16 points in 35 contests. He's tallied one game-winning goal in 2021, and he has fired 56 shots on goal on opposing netminders. Saturday's win was significant for the Capitals playing without sniper Alex Ovechkin who is injured.
