Kraken Milestones To Watch After 2023 All-Star Break

When the Seattle Kraken return from the All-Star break, not only will they be looking to clinch their first-ever postseason berth, but plenty of players will also be looking to reach individual career milestones. Whether they are for their overall career or time spent just with Seattle, there will be plenty of reasons to celebrate over the final home stretch of the 2022-23 season. Here is a look at some potential milestones.

First Kraken To 100 Career Points With The Organization- Jared McCann, Jordan Eberle or Yanni Gourde

Jared McCann, Jordan Eberle, and Yanni Gourde are all closing in on becoming the first players to hit 100 points as a Kraken. They are all separated by five points and are all projected to hit the milestone sometime this season. Vince Dunn can also join the 100-point club with the franchise this season but currently sits at 71 and will most likely reach the milestone after the other three.

The odds-on favourite would be McCann, who leads the pack with 85 career points. Based on his production and goal-scoring ability, he should be able to hit the 100 mark in the next 20 or so games. Hot on his tale though is Eberle who is at 82 points followed by Gourde with 80. While the race to the playoffs is exciting, the battle for first to 100 will be a fun competition for fans and players to keep track of.

This milestone race is a little surprising considering the length of time each goaltender has spent with the organization, but both Martin Jones and Philipp Grubauer have the opportunity to become the first Kraken goaltender to have 25 wins with the organization. Both have 23 career wins, and based on Seattle’s play this season, both should have no issues hitting the milestone. The two have also combined for 46 of the franchise’s 54 victories, or just over 85%.

Based on recent play and how coach Dave Hakstol has deployed both over the last 20 games, it is safe to say Jones will be the first to 25. That said, if the Kraken do decide to split the games down the stretch and give Grubauer the easier matchups, the German keeper may snag the 25-win trophy from his counterpart. Regardless of who hits the milestone first, both will need to be sharp from now until the regular season, as their play will be a key component…
