Kraken's Jacob Melanson: Promoted from AHL

Melanson was called up from AHL Coachella Valley on Saturday.

Melanson has 14 points, 26 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 23 contests for the Firebirds this year. He's up with the Kraken to take the roster spot of Jared McCann (lower body), who went on injured reserve in a corresponding move. Melanson is likely to see bottom-six minutes if he plays during this call-up.
