Kraken's Jared McCann: Late scratch Wednesday
Rotowire
McCann (lower body) won't play Wednesday versus the Oilers.
McCann was a late scratch before the contest. It's unclear how significant the 28-year-old's injury is, but given that this is the Kraken's preseason finale, there's a chance it's a precautionary move by the team with one of its top forwards. The Kraken open their regular season Tuesday at home versus the Blues.

Rotowire
McCann opened the scoring with an unassisted goal in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Blues.
