Kraken's Shane Wright: Nets goal Sunday
Rotowire
Wright tallied a goal on two shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Washington.
Wright's goal opened the scoring in Sunday's contest midway through the first period. Overall, the 21-year-old center has 15 goals, 38 points and 66 shots on net in 62 appearances this season.
