Oleksiak has cleared COVID-19 protocols and is eligible to play Tuesday versus the Golden Knights, Ryan S. Clark of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Oleksiak was initially expected to miss the Kraken's first regular-season game, but he was able to clear virus protocols in time to play. Expect the 28-year-old blueliner to serve in a top-four role, although he remains much more of a physical and defensive presence rather than a scorer.
