The Kraken will be without a critical part of their blueline tonight due to a family concern.

The Kraken announced today quite suddenly that Defender Brandon Montour will be placed on a temporary leave of absence, as he has a family matter that must be attended to. No further details have been given for respect of both him and the family.

With Montour absent tonight, it will fall on Cale Fleury to take his place. This will be Fleury’s first game of the season. Fleury previously played 14 games for the Kraken in 2024-25, and had 1 point; an assist.

In lieu of any further details, we simply extend our heartfelt sympathies and support to the Montour family, and hope that everyone is happy and healthy by the end of it.
