Sprong was traded to Seattle from Washington on Monday, along with a 2022 fourth-round selection and a 2023 sixth-round pick, in a swap for Marcus Johansson, Samantha Pell of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sprong has struggled to maintain his place in the lineup this season, frequently serving as a healthy scratch. Still, the 25-year-old winger did manage to record 14 points in 47 games for the Caps and should at least push for a top-six spot with the Kraken.

Sprong registered an assist, two shots and a plus-2 rating during Thursday's 7-2 victory over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Sprong's helper snapped a seven-game scoring drought. The 25-year-old has had trouble generating offense since the calendar rolled into 2022 with just three goals and four points in his last 18 games. Sprong has too many inconsistencies in production and playing time to warrant much fantasy consideration these days.

Sprong had a goal in a 4-1 loss to the Sharks on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Sprong carried the Caps offense in this one, limited as it was, with his goal in the third period. The right winger had not played in the previous three contests and had not added a point since Jan. 7 against St. Louis. Sprong is up to seven goals and five assists in 35 games.

Sprong was removed from the COVID-19 list and is expected to play Sunday against the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Sprong has been in protocols since the team returned from its holiday break and he hasn't suited up since Dec. 19. The 24-year-old winger has five goals and 10 points through 27 games this season. He'll likely skate in a middle-six role Sunday.

With four points in his last four games, Sprong has done well in a more significant role. The 24-year-old winger has 10 points, 63 shots on net, 20 hits and a plus-5 rating in 26 contests.

Sprong was a healthy scratch during Sunday's 4-2 win over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Sprong has been scuffling of late with no points, a minus-5 rating and just six shots over his last three games. The 24-year-old will need to pick things up to garner regular playing time once Washington gets healthy.

Sprong logged an assist in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Sprong set up linemate Conor Sheary's tally just 2:17 into the contest. The 24-year-old Sprong has only made occasional contributions on offense this year, posting three goals, three assists, 37 shots on net and a plus-7 rating through 17 appearances. The Dutch forward will likely continue to play in a bottom-six role now that T.J. Oshie (lower body) is back from injured reserve.
