Impact Wright has opened April with a goal and an assist over two games after enduring a six-game slump to close out March. The 21-year-old center is still seeing middle-six minutes, and it's possible some of his recent struggles are simply due to the workload of his first full NHL campaign. He's still been impressive with 18 goals, 24 helpers, 84 shots on net, 54 hits, 57 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 74 appearances.

Impact This was Wright's fourth multi-point effort over his last 12 games. He's gotten on the scoresheet in 10 of those contests, earning five goals on 14 shots and nine assists. The 21-year-old's strong second half is a testament to his growing confidence in a middle-six role. He's up to 13 goals, 23 helpers, 59 shots on net, 45 blocked shots, 44 hits and a plus-6 rating over 58 appearances this season. Wright's unlikely to move from his spot on the third line, but he'll be even more secure there if the Kraken ultimately trade away Yanni Gourde (abdomen) prior to Friday's deadline.
