Seattle’s power play ranked 17th in the NHL last season and led to the departure of assistant coach Paul McFarland, so the door could open for van Riemsdyk to shine there.

Ivan Provorov has 5 points in 7 games vs. Seattle. James van Riemsdyk has 4 points in 6 games. Kevin Labanc has 3 assists in 5 games vs. the Kraken.
