Overview
- Montour has four assists through four games and leads Seattle in average ice time at just under 23 minutes.
- He posted 18 goals and 23 assists in 81 games last season after signing a seven-year contract.
- With Ryker Evans still out with an upper-body injury, Seattle’s defensive depth is further strained.
- Cale Fleury has been the reserve defender and is the likely short-term replacement in the lineup.
- If the absence extends, the Kraken could recall a defenseman from AHL Coachella Valley and designate Montour non-roster to open a spot.
