Wright scored two goals on three shots in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Wright potted the Kraken's fifth and sixth goals to stretch the lead. The 21-year-old has played on the fourth line in the last few games, but he led Seattle forwards with 17:42 of ice time in this contest and hasn't seen too much of a drop in minutes. The 21-year-old has four goals and two assists over nine outings in March, and he's up to 17 goals, 40 points, 73 shots on net and a plus-3 rating across 66 appearances.

Wright tallied a goal on two shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Wright's goal opened the scoring in Sunday's contest midway through the first period. Overall, the 21-year-old center has 15 goals, 38 points and 66 shots on net in 62 appearances this season. The fourth overall selection from the 2022 NHL Entry Draft is having a solid showing in his first full season in the league. While he has cooled off from his 12-point run across 10 games from earlier this season, he has two goals in his last four games and is continuing to make an impact in his third-line role. Wright has solid value in deeper leagues down the stretch in fantasy.

Wright logged two assists in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
This was Wright's fourth multi-point effort over his last 12 games. He's gotten on the scoresheet in 10 of those contests, earning five goals on 14 shots and nine assists. The 21-year-old's strong second half is a testament to his growing confidence in a middle-six role. He's up to 13 goals, 23 helpers, 59 shots on net, 45 blocked shots, 44 hits and a plus-6 rating over 58 appearances this season. Wright's unlikely to move from his spot on the third line, but he'll be even more secure there if the Kraken ultimately trade away Yanni Gourde (abdomen) prior to Friday's deadline.

Wright scored on his lone shot attempt, blocked three shots and dished out two hits in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Wright tallied the lone goal of the game for the Kraken with just under five minutes remaining in the third period. The 21-year-old center has quietly been on a tear over the past month with 12 points in his last 10 games. Overall, Wright is up to 13 goals, 34 points, 57 shots on net and 44 blocks in 56 games this season. The No. 4 pick from the 2022 NHL Entry Draft is having a solid first full season in the NHL and could reach the 50-point mark if he is able to carry this momentum throughout the rest of the season. Wright is a strong waiver wire target in most formats given his recent success on offense.

Wright produced two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
After helping to set up Kaapo Kakko early in the first period on the man advantage, Wright started a rush in the third that led to Jared McCann's game-winner. Wright has multi-point performances in three of the last four contests, and he's struck for four goals and 11 points over the last nine games.

Wright scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Wright got the Kraken on the board at 13:12 of the third period, and he set up Andre Burakovsky's tying tally a couple of minutes later. With nine points over the last eight contests, Wright is one of the Kraken's hottest forwards right now. The 21-year-old center has settled in on the third line and is playing up to his lofty No. 4 draft position in 2022 despite averaging 13:32 of ice time per game. Wright is at 12 goals, 19 helpers, 56 shots on net, 41 hits, 39 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 54 appearances this season.

Wright scored twice and added two PIM in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Wright had the only multi-point effort for any player in this game. He's scored three times and added four assists during his six-game point streak. Wright is up to 11 goals, 29 points, 52 shots on net, 41 hits, 38 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 52 appearances. While his offense is hot, he's worth considering in redraft formats despite his third-line assignment.

Wright posted an assist, two hits and two PIM in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Wright has a goal and four assists during his five-game point streak, which is the longest of his young career. The center helped out on a Brandon Tanev tally in the third period. Wright is up to 27 points, 50 shots on net, 41 hits, 38 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a plus-1 rating across 51 appearances this season. That level of offense can be helpful in deeper fantasy formats, but he's not supplementing it with enough non-scoring production.

Wright notched an assist in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Wright set up the first of Brandon Montour's two goals in the game. With 10 points over 15 contests, Wright had the best month of his career in January, surpassing his nine-point December. Wright is up to nine goals, 17 helpers, 49 shots on net, 39 hits, 37 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 50 appearances. He could still improve his shot volume, but he's done well enough to maintain a third-line role for much of the campaign.

Wright scored a power-play goal on two shots and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
The goal was Wright's first since Jan. 6 versus the Devils. He hasn't been quiet lately, racking up six assists over 10 outings between goals. The 21-year-old center now has nine goals, 25 points, 48 shots on net, 39 hits, 37 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 49 appearances this season. He continues to fill a third-line role and a spot on the second power-play unit.
