Has Seattle Kraken forward Shane Wright finally found his way?
The fourth overall pick in the 2022 draft had an abysmal start to the season, being shut out in 17 of his first 18 games, with his two points during that stretch coming in a game against the Philadelphia Flyers.

But since November 25, Wright has stepped on the accelerator, collecting six points in as many games. In fact, since that date, it has been from the same ranked sixth in goals (4) in the National Hockey League.
He is also his team’s second highest point scorer, just behind Oliver Bjorkstrand, who amassed seven points in six games.
Moreover, this happy sequence coincides with the end of a three-game purgatory, where he was left aside by his head coach Dan Bylsma.
Friday night, during a 3-2 defeat against the Devils in New Jersey, Wright shook the strings for a second game in a row, having already done so the day before against the New York Islanders.
This season, the 20-year-old has six goals and three assists for nine points in 25 games.
