Kraken Recall Top Prospect From The Firebirds
The Seattle Kraken have recalled top prospect Jani Nyman from the Coachella Valley Firebirds. Andy Glass Photography This is the 20-year-old's first call-up to the NHL, and he earned it by recording 26 goals and 41 points in 55 games, leading the team in both categories. Outside of leading the team, Nyman is tied for third in the AHL in goals and first among rookies in goals. Following the trade deadline, GM Ron Francis spoke about Nyman's impressive season, hinting that a call-up would be coming soon. Advertisement "Jani Nyman's got 26 goals, he's No.1 in the American Hockey League for rookie goal scoring and I think he's fourth for rookie scoring in points as well," said Francis. "I think he's fourth overall in goal scoring in the AHL, and that's really good for a young kid. That's exciting, and at some point here we'll give him a look too before the end of the season." Listed at 6'4, 220 lbs, Nyman's rookie season has been better than the Kraken organization would have imagined. He took home Rookie of the Month honours in February and was named as Cale Fleury's replacement for the All-Star game. The second-round pick in the 2022 NHL Draft had an impressive camp, setting the tone for the season to follow. He played in just one preseason game but showed quite a few signs of a player with confidence. Francis compared Nyman's shot to Mikko Rantanen's, showing that the organization believes he can be a star in the NHL.
