Wright was demoted to AHL Coachella Valley on Friday.
Wright has been solid at the NHL level this season, tallying four goals and one assist in eight contests. With the Kraken not making the playoffs, the club could decide to leave Wright in the minors the rest of the way rather than bringing him back up ahead of Saturday's matchup with Dallas. If that's the case, Pierre-Edouard Bellemare could rejoin the lineup.

Kraken's Shane Wright: Among final cuts
Rotowire
Wright was reassigned to AHL Coachella Valley on Saturday, Kraken radio announcer Mike Benton reports.
Wright lost out on the last forward spot on the roster to Tye Kartye. While still just 19 years old, Wright has an exemption to head to the AHL rather than OHL Windsor. Should the Kraken need another forward due to injuries, Wright is likely to be near the top of the list.

Kraken's Shane Wright: Injured in OHL action
Rotowire
Wright (lower body) is considered out indefinitely after sustaining an injury with OHL Windsor this week, Dave Jewell of The Hockey Writers reports.
Wright has put up 11 points over six games since joining Windsor shortly after the end of the World Junior Championship. The first-round pick from 2022 doesn't have a timeline to return, so it's unclear how severe this injury is.
Wright is fresh off captaining the Canadian World Junior team to a gold medal as the team defeated Czechia 3-2 in overtime Thursday. The decision to send him back to Kingston comes as no surprise as it's been rumored for weeks that this would happen. Wright has a goal and an assist through eight NHL appearances this year.

Kraken's Shane Wright: Tallies in first game back
Rotowire
Wright scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Canadiens.
Wright took the confidence he found while on a conditioning stint with AHL Coachella Valley and applied it in his first game back in the NHL. He scored in the first period, and it coincidentally came against the team that passed him over with the No. 1 overall pick at the 2022 Draft. Wright is up to two points, four shots on net, six blocked shots and a plus-4 rating in eight contests for the Kraken. His time with the big club could still be short, as it's possible he's loaned to Team Canada for the World Junior Championship.
