Jacob Melanson Makes Season Debut for Kraken, Records Seven Hits

Jacob Melanson made his season debut for the Seattle Kraken on Sunday, skating in his second career NHL game. He was recalled after Jared McCann was placed on injured reserve and played on the fourth line alongside Ben Meyers and Tye Kartye. The 22-year-old forward recorded seven hits in just 7:47 of ice time, bringing energy and physicality. Melanson has notched seven goals and 14 points this season in the AHL with the Coachella Valley Firebirds. The Kraken lost 3-1 to the Buffalo Sabres in his debut.
