Kraken coach Dave Hakstol shares bad news on Daniel Sprong.

The Seattle Kraken will have to fight an uphill battle as they look to fend off elimination on Saturday night, and unfortunately that will be the case again in Game 7 if they manage to defeat the Dallas Stars this evening.

On Saturday, Kraken head coach Dave Hakstol confirmed that forward Daniel Sprong would be out for the remainder of the series as a result of an undisclosed injury. Sprong's production has dropped off a cliff in the playoffs and many believe the forward has been dealing with an injury, or injuries. This latest update from Hakstol seemingly all but confirms that fact.

Sprong left Game 3 of this series due to injury and did not participate in Game 4 or Game 5, both of which proved to be wins for the Stars.
