Kraken's Jani Nyman: Strikes on power play in loss
Rotowire
Nyman scored a power-play goal in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Jets.
Nyman has scored twice, both on the power play, over his first three NHL games. The Kraken sheltered him a bit against a tough opponent -- he had just 9:19 of ice time despite getting a goal in this contest. The 20-year-old winger will try to keep fending off John Hayden for a spot in the lineup, though it's possible the Kraken will eventually send Nyman down after letting him have a taste of NHL action. In any case, power-play time looks to be part of the deal for as long as he can stay with the big club.

Kraken's Jani Nyman: Scores in NHL debut
Rotowire
Nyman scored a power-play goal on three shots and added three hits in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Canadiens.
Nyman logged 13:56 of ice time in his debut, and he scored his first NHL tally at 10:53 of the third period, sparking the Kraken's comeback effort. The 20-year-old was selected by Seattle in the second round of the 2022 NHL Entry Draft. He's well-regarded for his shot, and he's also got size that could allow him to play as a power winger once he establishes himself with the Kraken. Nyman will likely be a big part of AHL Coachella Valley's playoff run this spring, but it won't hurt for him to spend some time with the big club to get a taste of NHL action.

Rotowire
Nyman was recalled from AHL Coachella Valley on Monday.
Nyman has played well with the Firebirds this season, registering 26 goals and 41 points across 55 appearances. Nyman has yet to make his NHL debut, but that may change soon. The winger could compete with Tye Kartye, who has just eight points over 51 games, for a spot in the lineup.
