Shane Wright, a 22-year-old forward for the Seattle Kraken, recorded an assist in his team's 4-3 overtime win against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday. While Wright hasn't scored a goal in the 15 games since play resumed following the Olympics, he has contributed 4 assists and 12 shots on net during that span, averaging 14:08 of ice time per game.
