Kraken F Jordan Eberle to return after 40-game absence
February 22 - After missing 40 games with an unprecedented injury, Seattle captain Jordan Eberle has been activated from injured reserve and is expected to play when the Kraken face the Florida Panthers on Saturday in Sunrise, Fla. Eberle suffered a pelvic injury in a Nov. 14 game against the Chicago Blackhawks, an injury that no other player in the league had ever experienced, per Eberle's doctor reportedly consulted with New Zealand rugby players who'd experienced the same injury to help them decide on the surgery. That was followed by an arduous, 14-week rehab program that initially required Eberle to be confined to a hospital bed. The latest phase of his rehab had Eberle spending the 4 Nations Face-Off break practicing with the AHL's Coachella Valley Firebirds in an attempt to get up to the speed and level of physicality of the NHL game. "I think I'm at the point now where I'm battling in practice and moving the way I want to," Eberle said, according to "Now it just comes down to getting into game action. That's the only way you can test (your body). I've done everything else up to that point. "Obviously, I've had over three months off. I feel like I'm in game shape right now, but (it's about) the timing and getting that aggressiveness back. I think it helps that I'm coming back with the guys after the break, where everyone's been off for a while as well. I'm hoping that I can get back and just get right back into it." Kraken coach Dan Bylsma called Eberle's recovery "utterly and painfully slow" but also "unprecedented" and had expressed optimism in late January that he was making great progress. "And as we've gotten closer (to Eberle's return), it's him on the ice, off the ice, desperately wanting to get back and get with the group, with his work ethic," Bylsma said. "It's just an indicator of what we've missed. ... Just seeing him back with the group, seeing his work ethic, seeing his determination to get back is a clear indicator of what we've missed." Kraken general manager Ron Francis expressed cautious optimism about Eberle's return. "Anytime you come back from injury it's usually kind of a little burst and then a lull and then you get back to it," Francis said. "I'm just excited he's back and we'll see how things go." Eberle, 34, has recorded 11 points (six goals, five assists) through 17 games this season, his fourth with the Kraken. He signed a two-year, $9.5 million extension with the Kraken last March. He has 713 points (305 goals, 408 assists) in 1,035 games with the Edmonton Oilers (2010-17), Islanders (2017-21) and Kraken. The Oilers drafted him in the first round (22nd overall) in 2008.

Seattle Kraken Loan Jordan Eberle To Coachella Valley For Conditioning Stint
The Seattle Kraken have assigned forward Jordan Eberle to the Coachella Valley Firebirds for a conditioning stint, it was announced Wednesday. Eberle, who is in his fourth season with the Kraken, has been sidelined since November after undergoing surgery on his pelvis. Through 17 games in 2024-25, Eberle has collected six goals and five assists for 11 points. Drafted by the Edmonton Oilers in the first round of the 2008 NHL Draft, Eberle has played in 1035 career NHL regular season games with the Kraken, Oilers, and the New York Islanders. Over that span, he has put up 305 goals and 408 assists for 713 points. With the NHL on their break for the 4 Nations Face-Off, this is the perfect time for Eberle to be sent down to the AHL. He will have a good chunk of time to get up to speed again before making his way back to join the Kraken and play a big role for the team.

Kraken Assign Captain To Coachella Valley Firebirds On Conditioning Loan
The Seattle Kraken have assigned Jordan Eberle to the Coachella Valley Firebirds on a conditioning loan. The #SeaKraken have assigned forward Jordan Eberle to the Coachella Valley @Firebirds on a conditioning loan. — Seattle Kraken PR (@SeattleKrakenPR) February 13, 2025 The 34-year-old has played in just 17 games before sustaining his pelvis injury but was able to score five goals and 11 points. Heading to the AHL is a positive sign in his recovery process, and without any unforeseen setbacks, he should be able to return after the 4-Nations Face-Off. Eberle hasn't played since Nov. 14, 2024, after he and Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Connor Murphy were tangled up and went into the boards awkwardly. A conditioning loan can last up to 14 days, giving Eberle plenty of time to get back into game shape and plenty of time for the Kraken to monitor his health. Missing Eberle has effected the Kraken, and they'll be thrilled to hear that he is another step closer to returning.
