Sprong will miss Wednesday's game against Anaheim.
EDGE Analysis
Sprong signed his one-year contract late after coming into camp on a PTO, delaying his ability to secure a work visa. He had 14 goals and 20 points in 63 contests in 2021-22. He's expected to serve in a depth role this season, likely spending some time as a healthy scratch while also getting a fair amount of work on the fourth line.

Sprong signed a professional tryout agreement with the Kraken on Tuesday, per CapFriendly.
EDGE Analysis
Sprong finished last year with the Kraken, racking up six goals in 16 games after he was traded from the Capitals. He hit the 20-point mark for the second straight year, despite seeing his shooting percentage dip from 17.6 percent in 2020-21 to 9.2 percent last year. The Kraken addressed their lack of wing depth over the offseason, but Sprong could still earn at least a two-way deal with a strong showing in preseason.

Sprong scored a goal on five shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Sprong showed off his scoring touch after a deadline trade from the Capitals to the Kraken. With his new team, he potted six goals in 16 contests while shooting a somewhat reasonable 11.8 percent. Overall, the Dutch winger finished the campaign with 20 points, 153 shots on net, 43 hits and an even plus-minus rating in 63 appearances.

Sprong found the back of the net in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Sprong has five goals through 13 games with the Kraken after potting eight goals through 47 contests with the Capitals earlier in the season. He's still in a fourth line capacity with utility on the No. 2 power-play unit, but Sprong hasn't surpassed 20 points in a single season since joining the NHL with the Penguins in 2015.

Sprong scored a power-play goal on three shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Sprong entered Monday on a seven-game point drought, and he was also a healthy scratch last Tuesday in Calgary. He snapped the skid at 4:36 of the first period, cashing in from close range in the first half of a double-minor for high-sticking by Parker Kelly. Sprong is up to 12 goals, 18 points, 137 shots on net and a plus-3 rating through 58 games between the Kraken and the Capitals this season. He'll likely continue to play in a bottom-six role.

Sprong scored a goal on five shots in Monday's 6-1 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
That's now three goals in his first three games with the Kraken. Sprong saw 15:14 of ice time Monday, his highest mark since early January when he played for the Capitals. The Dutch winger is up to 11 goals, 17 points, 114 shots on net and a plus-9 rating through 50 appearances. He should be a lock for the Kraken's lineup going forward given his strong first impression with the team.

Sprong scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Sprong did most of the work after retrieving a Carson Soucy pass. This was Sprong's second goal in as many games with the Kraken -- he continues to make a good impression with his new team. The 25-year-old winger is up to 10 goals, 16 points, 109 shots on net and a plus-8 rating through 49 games between the Kraken and the Capitals this season.

Sprong scored a power-play goal on five shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Sprong immediately earned a power-play role with the Kraken after coming over from the Capitals in the Marcus Johansson trade Monday. The 25-year-old Sprong capitalized on the newfound opportunity, scoring a game-tying goal in the second period. He's earned 15 points, 107 shots on net, 36 hits and a plus-7 rating through 48 contests overall this season, and he could move up the Kraken's lineup quickly if he continues to put in strong showings.
