Eberle will likely be placed on long-term injured reserve after sustaining an injury on Nov. 14 against the Chicago Blackhawks. The injury will keep him out until February or March, meaning he’s potentially not going to be back in time to help the Kraken compete for a playoff spot. They currently sit sixth in the Pacific Division with a 10-9-1 record. Eberle was fifth on the team in scoring with six goals and 11 points in 17 games.

Andre Burakovsky has initially replaced him on the top line with Matty Beniers and Jared McCann, but the Kraken are expected to experiment with various forwards in that role during their captain’s extended recovery.

The team did receive some good news on Friday as Vince Dunn will be joining the team on their upcoming road trip.
