Jacob Melanson Records First NHL Point, Stays with Kraken

Jacob Melanson remains on the Seattle Kraken's NHL roster after Jani Nyman's assignment to the AHL. Since his call-up, Melanson has skated in eight games and recently recorded his first career NHL point, assisting on Ryan Winterton's goal. The 22-year-old, standing six-foot, 207 pounds, brings speed and physicality to the fourth line. With Jaden Schwartz sidelined, Melanson and Ben Meyers have secured their spots, forming a solid fourth line with Tye Kartye or Ryan Winterton.
