Sprong signed a one-year contract with CSKA of the KHL on Wednesday, per Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.

EDGE Analysis

Sprong had a goal and four points in 21 regular-season appearances between Seattle and New Jersey in 2024-25. He also had 11 goals and 25 points in 19 AHL regular-season outings with Coachella Valley. The 28-year-old is a veteran of nine NHL campaigns, recording 87 goals and 166 points across 374 career regular-season outings.

Sprong notched an assist, three shots on goal and five hits in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

The helper was Sprong's first point as a Devil, to go with 14 shots on goal and 16 hits over eight contests. The 28-year-old has seen bottom-six minutes and a little power-play time on the second unit, though he's also been scratched six times since he was traded from Seattle. Between the Canucks, Kraken and Devils, Sprong has been limited to six points in 27 contests while adding 45 shots on net, 27 hits and an even plus-minus rating at the NHL level this season.

Sprong was recalled from AHL Utica on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Sprong has 11 goals and 14 assists in 19 AHL games with Coachella Valley this season. He briefly reported to Utica after being acquired from Seattle on Friday. Sprong has played in 19 games at the NHL level this campaign, scoring a pair of goals and adding three assists between Seattle and Vancouver. He will serve a depth role for New Jersey ahead of Sunday's contest in Philadelphia.

Sprong was acquired by New Jersey from Seattle on Friday in exchange for a seventh-round pick, per Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

Sprong has two goals and five points in 19 appearances between Vancouver and Seattle in 2024-25. Before the trade, he was playing for AHL Coachella Valley, recording 11 goals and 25 points across 19 outings. Sprong will probably remain in the minors unless New Jersey runs into further injury troubles.

Sprong was put on waivers by Seattle on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Sprong has two goals and five points in 19 appearances between Vancouver and Seattle in 2024-25. He's been a healthy scratch for each of Seattle's past four games.

Sprong notched an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Sprong played on the second line while Andre Burakovsky (illness) sat out. The 27-year-old Sprong helped out on the first of Jaden Schwartz's two goals in the Kraken's furious third-period comeback. With just two points over 10 appearances since the Kraken reacquired Sprong in a trade with the Canucks, the winger has done little to secure a spot in the lineup. He has five points, 31 shots on net, 11 hits and a minus-1 rating over 19 outings this season.

Sprong has played in just nine of 19 games since he was traded to the Kraken from the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

In that span, Sprong has just one goal on 12 shots, six hits and a minus-1 rating. The 27-year-old's second stint with the Kraken has not reignited his offense, and he hasn't seen power-play time in his last three contests. Sprong has just four points with 31 shots on net, 11 hits and a minus-3 rating over 18 appearances, so his fantasy upside is the lowest its been in three years.

Sprong scored a goal on a game-high six shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Sprong scored at 15:55 of the second period, his first point in three games since the Kraken reacquired him in a trade with the Canucks. The winger saw 14:10 of ice time Wednesday, his most since the trade. The 27-year-old is typically best suited to bottom-six minutes at even strength and a hefty power-play role. Over 12 outings this season, he has two goals, two assists, 26 shots on net, five hits and a minus-1 rating. He'll have an uphill battle to earn a third straight 40-point campaign, but he should get more opportunities in Seattle than he did in Vancouver.

Sprong has had his immigration paperwork approved, and he will join the Kraken on Friday, Kate Shefte of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sprong was dealt from Vancouver a week ago, and he was finally able to cross the border to join up with his new teammates. Sprong had a goal and two assists over nine games with Vancouver. He'll likely see bottom-six minutes with the Kraken and will likely play on the second power-play unit.

Head coach Dan Bylsma said Thursday that Sprong has yet to arrive in Seattle due to immigration problems, Kate Shefte of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Kraken are expecting Sprong -- who was dealt from Vancouver on Friday -- to finally get through immigration in time for weekend games against the Islanders and Rangers. The 27-year-old had a goal and two assists with 19 shots on net in nine games with the Canucks before the deal. Look for Sprong to see bottom-six minutes with the Kraken, as well as some power-play time.
