Kraken's Jared McCann: More games, more goals
Rotowire
McCann scored two goals Thursday in a 4-3 shootout loss to the Maple Leafs.
McCann has six points, including four goals, in his last five games. Hockey pundits were shocked by his opportunistic 40 goals last season, but McCann is currently on a 38-goal pace. Maybe all he needed was real opportunity from a coach that trusted him to deliver. And deliver he has. McCann has 11 goals and five assists in 24 games this season. Four of his goals have come on the power play.

Kraken's Jared McCann: Leads Kraken past Lightning
Rotowire
McCann collected a goal and an assist in a 4-3 overtime win over Tampa Bay on Monday.
McCann's marker was scored on the power play during overtime, making it his second game-winner of the campaign. He's up to five goals and seven points in 10 appearances this year. McCann had 40 goals last year, but there were questions if he could repeat that feat. His success in 2022-23 relied on his 19.0 shooting percentage, which was a significant jump from his previous career high of 15.3. By contrast, the 27-year-old has a 15.2 shooting percentage this campaign, and his success is linked to him firing the puck a lot more -- an average of 3.30 shots per game, up from 2.66 last year. If he can continue to be that aggressive with the puck, then McCann should have another big offensive season.

Kraken's Jared McCann: Scores in loss
Rotowire
McCann scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Panthers.
A recent drop to the third line hasn't nullified McCann's effectiveness as arguably the Kraken's best shooter. The 27-year-old has three points over his last three contests, giving him four goals and a helper through nine outings this season. He's added 27 shots on net, nine PIM and a minus-5 rating. With Andre Burakovsky (upper body) likely out until at least December, McCann may stick with Yanni Gourde and Eeli Tolvanen for a while.

Kraken's Jared McCann: Buries goal in win
Rotowire
McCann scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Hurricanes.
McCann hadn't gotten on the scoresheet since his goal Opening Night versus Vegas. The winger snapped the short slump with a third-period tally that stood as the game-winner. He has two goals, 16 shots on net, four PIM and a minus-5 rating through five appearances. With Jaden Schwartz (undisclosed) exiting Thursday's contest, McCann was moved off the top line in favor of Tye Kartye later in the game, which could be a move that sticks heading into Saturday's tilt with the Rangers.

Kraken's Jared McCann: Tallies lone goal in loss
Rotowire
McCann scored a goal on five shots, added two PIM and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
McCann broke up Adin Hill's shutout bid with his second-period goal. It's a positive start to the year for McCann, who led the Kraken with 40 tallies last year, albeit with a career-high 19.0 shooting percentage he might not be able to replicate in 2023-24. The 27-year-old forward was once again on a line with Matty Beniers and Jordan Eberle, but with Andre Burakovsky back in action, head coach Dave Hakstol may be more willing to mix up his top six if the Kraken struggle in October. In any case, McCann should still be counted on for offense and power-play time.
