Jared McCann - The Clutch Scorer

Jared McCann has been at the heart of Seattle’s offense this season. Leading the team in goals, assists, and points, McCann has shown up when it matters most. From scoring the game-tying goal that sent Seattle into a shootout victory against the Minnesota Wild (the team’s first win of the season) to notching the overtime goal just 26 seconds into extra time against Vegas, McCann has been clutch in the moments that define games. When the Kraken need offense, McCann is the player you want with the puck on his stick.

McCann’s MVP Case:

  • Leading Scorer: With his consistent scoring and offensive contributions, McCann keeps Seattle in games and provides the team’s biggest spark.
  • Clutch Performer: His goals often come at pivotal moments, underscoring his value as a reliable closer for the Kraken.
