Maybe one of the most important pieces of news, the home opener will only be streaming on ESPN+ and Hulu. There will be no cable broadcast. It was a league decision to not make it available locally on ROOT Sports Northwest, not an organizational decision. Feel free to tweet and email your anger toward the league.

  Alex Barre-Boulet was placed on waivers yesterday and was re-claimed by the Tampa Bay Lightning.

  The latest injury report is as follows:

Morgan Geekie – Practiced with the team

Calle Jarnkrok – Activated off COVID-19 protocol and back at practice, as of Thursday.

  Today’s practice lines:

Brandon Tanev — Morgan Geekie — Joonas Donskoi
Mason Appleton — Riley Sheahan — Nathan Bastian/Ryan Donato

Mark Giordano — Jamie Oleksiak
Jeremy Lauzon — Adam Larsson
Carson Soucy — Vince Dunn

 Kyle Pereira and I sat down to talk about the results of the first five Kraken games, the goalie issues and the prospects in the system. Give it a listen or a watch:

  As I mentioned earlier, the Kraken host the Vancouver Canucks Saturday night at Climate Pledge Arena (has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it?). Puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m. PDT. Follow us on Twitter: @TheRinkOfficial, @TheRinkSeattle, @KrakenHostile and @PuckinHostile
