Kraken's McMann Shines, Nyman Called Up

0:00It's March 19th for the NHL. Let's get into it. Follow and subscribe for more team news every day. The Seattle Kraken are making some key roster moves as they push for the playoffs. They recently activated Goli Matt Murray from Inter Reserve after he missed time since mid-November. Murray had a strong start with a 0.922 save percentage in his first five games. The team signed him last summer to bolster their three Goli setup and give everyone more rest. Meanwhile, forward Johnny Nyman got called up from their A.H.L. team, the Coachella Valley Firebirds. This comes with injuries piling up, including Jaden Schwartz out indefinitely and Ely Tauvin in sideline for a recent game. Jair McCann also set out the end of Tuesday's matchup, so Nyman could fill a bottom six roll again after posting 27 points in the minors. Adding firepower, the Kraken traded for forward Bobby McMahon from Toronto right before the March 6 deadline, giving up draft picks.

1:00After a week delay for paperwork, he exploded in his debut with two goals and an assist in a win over Vancouver. In three games, he's got four goals and six points total, helping secure big victories. Fans are buzzing about McMahon, fitting right in and easing the pressure on the lineup. His quick impact shows the trade deadline gamble paid off so far, especially with the team holding the second wildcard spot at 71 points. Now the Kraken kick off a crucial six game road trip starting March 19th. The Los Angeles Kings match them at 71 points and San Jose trails with 70, so every game counts in this tight race.
