Daniel Sprong - NHL News & Rumors | FOX Sports

Opens scoring in second period Sprong scored a goal on a game-high six shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Predators.

Impact Sprong scored at 15:55 of the second period, his first point in three games since the Kraken reacquired him in a trade with the Canucks. The winger saw 14:10 of ice time Wednesday, his most since the trade. The 27-year-old is typically best suited to bottom-six minutes at even strength and a hefty power-play role. Over 12 outings this season, he has two goals, two assists, 26 shots on net, five hits and a minus-1 rating. He'll have an uphill battle to earn a third straight 40-point campaign, but he should get more opportunities in Seattle than he did in Vancouver.

Reporting Friday Sprong has had his immigration paperwork approved and he will join the Kraken on Friday, Kate Shefte of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Sprong was dealt from Vancouver a week ago and he finally was able to cross the border to join up with his new teammates. Sprong had a goal and two assists in nine games with Vancouver. He will likely see bottom-six minutes with the Kraken, as well as playing on the second power-play unit.

Still not in Seattle Per Kate Shefte of The Seattle Times, Sprong has yet to arrive in Seattle due to immigration problems, coach Dan Bylsma said Thursday.

Impact The Kraken are expecting Sprong -- who was dealt from Vancouver on Friday, to finally get through immigration, in time for weekend games against the Islanders and Rangers. The 27-year-old had a goal and two assists with 19 shots on net in nine games with the Canucks before the deal. Look for Sprong to see bottom-six minutes with the Kraken, as well as some power-play time.

Returning to Seattle Sprong was traded from the Canucks to the Kraken on Friday in exchange for future considerations.

Impact Sprong's stay in Vancouver lasted one month of the regular season and saw him produce just three points over nine appearances. He now returns to the location of his best season to date (21 goals, 46 points in 66 contests in 2022-23). Sprong's role likely won't change much in Seattle -- he's a fourth-liner at even strength who can use a strong shot to help on the power play. Given the Kraken have less high-end talent on the roster, Sprong could carve out a bit more ice time if he hits the ground running in his second stint with the team.

Produces helper Sprong logged an assist, three shots on goal, three hits and two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Penguins.

Impact Sprong has not been a consistent part of the Canucks' lineup -- he's been scratched three times over the team's seven games so far. The 27-year-old has often played on the fourth line, earning two points ,nine shots on net, three hits and a minus-1 rating. Sprong also plays on the second power-play unit when in the lineup, but the risk of him being scratched frequently makes him unreliable for fantasy purposes.

Tallies on power play Sprong scored a power-play goal on two shots in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Flames.

Impact Sprong had the Canucks' first goal of the season as the second power-play unit cashed in midway through the first period. The 27-year-old winger began the game on a line with Elias Pettersson, but Sprong ended up with just 13:07 of ice time, third-lowest among Vancouver skaters. He's developed a reputation as a power-play specialist over the last two seasons, earning 26 of his 89 points in that span with the man advantage. As such, it wouldn't be a surprise for Sprong to ultimately end up in a bottom-six role, though that shouldn't hurt his fantasy value in formats that heavily reward offense.

Inks one-year deal Sprong signed a one-year, $975,000 contract with Vancouver on Saturday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Sprong generated 18 goals and 43 points in 76 regular-season outings for Detroit in 2023-24. As a member of the Canucks in a bottom-six role, he should register similar numbers in the upcoming campaign.

Helper overshadowed by turnover Sprong earned an assist in Thursday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Penguins.

Impact Sprong earned a secondary assist in the second period, but it was his careless center-ice pass that resulted in a Jeff Carter interception and shorthanded tally to put the Penguins up 5-3 early in the third frame. Pittsburgh drafted Sprong in the second round (No. 46 overall) in 2015, but Detroit marks his sixth different NHL franchise. He's cashing out the balance of a one-year deal worth $2 million, and the Wings could end letting him walk as an unrestricted free agent this summer. There's plenty to like about Sprong, a bottom-six contributor, putting up 17 goals and 24 assists through 73 games, but the Wings are so desperately fighting to get into the playoffs and can ill-afford costly turnovers like the one Sprong had Thursday.
