The Seattle Kraken have reshaped their leadership group, handing Vince Dunn and Brandon Montour bigger roles just as the 2026-27 season gets underway.

"I would love to rip his head off"

The Lightning didn’t get the result they wanted Thursday night, falling 4-3 in overtime to the Seattle Kraken at Benchmark International Arena.

Brandon Montour scored his second goal of the game 2:47 into overtime to give the Seattle Kraken a 4-3 victory against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday night. Bobby McMann and Kaapo Kakko each had a goal and an assist. Philipp Grubauer stopped 30 shots for Seattle, which snapped a four-game losing streak.

With Brandon Montour seemingly returning to the Seattle Kraken lineup, Jacob Melanson has been assigned to the Coachella Valley Firebirds of the AHL.

The fourth stop of the Seattle Kraken's five-game road trip is in Boston, where veteran defenseman Brandon Montour could be making his return to the lineup.

Kraken defenseman Brandon Montour practiced for the first time since his injury, but it was in a non-contract jersey.
