The Seattle Kraken have engaged sports advisory firm Sportsology to assess their hockey operations department following the departure of general manager Ron Francis. The review will cover organizational structure, player development, and analytics, as the team seeks improvement after a lackluster start to their franchise history. Meanwhile, the Colorado Avalanche’s Josh Manson was fined $5K for an incident during Game 4, while the Buffalo Sabres are making lineup changes after a loss, including rookie center Konsta Helenius and goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen.
