Sprong scored a power-play goal on five shots and added two PIM in Monday's 4-0 win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Sprong has gotten on the scoresheet in five of the last six games, notching three goals and three helpers in that span. Two of those points have come on the power play, including his goal that went off the post and trickled across the line Monday. The winger is in the midst of a career year with 13 tallies, 25 points, 69 shots on net, a plus-16 rating and nine power-play points through 32 appearances. His 15:47 of ice time Monday was his second-highest total of the year -- it appears Sprong's consistency is starting to be rewarded.

Sprong scored a goal and added an assist in an 8-4 victory over the Senators on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
This guy continues to amaze with his production in limited ice time. Sprong skated 13:40 on Saturday, which aside from a big-minute game December 30, was his highest ice time since opening night (13:43). He has eight points, including five goals, in his last eight games and 24 points (12 goals, 12 assists) in 31 games. Sprong's skills have never been debated, but this is the first time we're seeing him deployed in the perfect way for them to shine. Check your wire.

Sprong logged a power-play assist, three shots on goal, two blocked shots and two PIM in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Spring has gotten on the scoresheet in seven of his last 10 games, posting six goals and two helpers in that span. Just two of those points have come on the power play -- he's proving to be more than just a specialist in that regard. The 25-year-old is up to 22 points (eight on the power play), 61 shots on net and a plus-14 rating through 29 contests despite often seeing only fourth-line minutes.

Sprong notched an assist in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
The helper was Sprong's first since Dec. 1, but he made up for the lack of playmaking by burying six goals last month. The 25-year-old continues to see time on the fourth line and on the power play, though he could see reduced usage in that latter role if Eeli Tolvanen sticks in the Kraken's lineup. Sprong has 11 tallies, 10 assists, 58 shots on net and a plus-14 rating through 28 contests.

Sprong scored a goal on three shots, added three hits and went plus-2 in Friday's 7-2 loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Sprong got the Kraken on the board in the second period. As the lines got shuffled late in the blowout loss, he received a boost in ice time and ended with 17:48, which is 4:05 more than his previous high this season in his debut. The 25-year-old is up to 11 goals and 20 points through 27 appearances. He's been on a tear to close out 2022, netting six of his goals in his last eight contests.

Sprong scored two goals in 10:19 of ice time during a 6-5 loss to the host Canucks on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Sprong continues to make the most of his bottom-six minutes, collecting five markers in six games. The 25-year-old right winger entered Thursday leading all NHL skaters in scoring who average less than 11 minutes of ice time per game. Sprong, who was averaging 10:37, has collected 10 goals and nine assists this season. Securing his fourth career two-goal game Thursday, Sprong has compiled 19 points in 25 appearances this season, equaling the career high he established in 47 games with the Ducks in 2018-19.

Sprong scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
The Kraken made a quick transition on their third goal of the game. Brandon Tanev got the puck behind his own goal line and rimmed it around to Morgan Geekie, who set up Sprong for a breakaway tally. The goal was Sprong's third in the last five games as he continues to produce well in a fourth-line role. He's up to eight goals, 17 points, 49 shots on net and a plus-9 rating through 24 outings this season.

Sprong found the back of the net in a 3-2 loss to Carolina on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Sprong scored at 9:14 of the third period to cut the Hurricanes' lead to 3-2, but Seattle was unable to close that final gap. It was his seventh goal and 16th point in 22 contests this season. The 25-year-old's offensive production is very impressive when you consider that he entered the game averaging just 10:32 of ice time. It will be hard for Sprong to maintain his scoring pace though, if he doesn't start to play a bigger role.

Sprong scored a power-play goal on three shots and went minus-2 in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Sprong ended his three-game point drought with a laser of a one-timer, set up by Alexander Wennberg in the third period. The 25-year-old Sprong is still playing on the fourth line at even strength, but his hard shot has value on the half-wall on the Kraken's second power-play unit. He's up to six goals, 15 points (seven on the power play), 40 shots on net and a plus-6 rating through 20 appearances.

Sprong posted an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Sprong controlled the puck for a shot and Yanni Gourde struck on a rebound late in the third period to tie the game. Over the last six games, Sprong has three goals and four assists despite a limited fourth-line role. The 25-year-old is up to 14 points (five goals, nine helpers), 30 shots and a plus-8 rating through 16 contests, and his strong play of late will make it virtually impossible for head coach Dave Hakstol to scratch Sprong any time soon.
