Seattle Kraken: The Shane Wright Saga Continues into 2023
Shane Wright has gone through a whirlwind so far this season. Let's take a look at what's next for the future Seattle Kraken star!
Wright ended up logging the most ice time of his young NHL career. When asked postgame how he felt about scoring his first goal, the young forward said:
“It is a pretty cool accomplishment and milestone, for sure. It is great to have these opportunities to create some momentum for the team. I am trying to continue building on my confidence. The AHL stint helped me adjust to the speed of the game and (scoring 4 goals in 5 games) really helped my confidence level.”
A reporter asked Wright if he had any added motivation to score against Montreal, the team that overlooked him at the draft. His response? “Maybe a little, but it was more important to me to score in the NHL after coming from my conditioning stint to show everyone the experience I gained. It did not matter who I was playing – I just wanted to show the time in the AHL helped me.”
