McCann Out 3+ Weeks with Lower-Body Injury, Returns to IR

Seattle Kraken center Jared McCann is sidelined for at least three weeks due to a lower-body injury, the team announced Friday. This follows a recent return from a 17-game absence for a similar issue; it's unclear if the problems are related. McCann is expected to return to injured reserve. Prior to this setback, he had recorded five goals and three assists, including two power-play points, in 11 games.
