Eberle (pelvis) was transferred from injured reserve to long-term injured reserve Saturday, per PuckPedia.
This move frees up the cap space necessary to lift Vince Dunn (upper body) from long-term injured reserve, which was done in a corresponding move. Eberle's timeline won't change -- he's expected to be out until the second half of February at a minimum while recovering from a pelvic surgery.

Kraken's Jordan Eberle: Placed on IR
Rotowire
Eberle (pelvis) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site.
Considering Eberle is expected to miss at least three months, this move doesn't come as a surprise. For now, the Kraken have opened up an extra roster spot. Eberle could move to long-term injured reserve to balance the team's cap once Vince Dunn (upper body) is ready to return from LTIR.

Kraken's Jordan Eberle: Out long term after surgery
Rotowire
Eberle underwent a pelvic surgery Friday and will be out for at least three months.
Eberle is a candidate for long-term injured reserve whenever the Kraken decide they need cap relief. The winger was injured Nov. 14 versus the Blackhawks. He likely won't be back prior to the 4 Nations Faceoff in February, and it's possible he's out longer than that. Andre Burakovsky has received the first opportunity on the top line with Matty Beniers and Jared McCann in Eberle's absence, but the Kraken are likely to try a number of forwards there over the course of their captain's recovery.

Kraken's Jordan Eberle: No timetable for return yet
Rotowire
Eberle (lower body) isn't expected to play Wednesday and a timetable for his recovery is still being determined. "We saw a doc on Monday, we're getting a couple of other opinions, and we should probably have more in the next 24 hours - a better, clearer picture as to what we're dealing with and what that timeline will look like," GM Ron Francis said, per Julian Gaudio of The Hockey News on Wednesday.
Eberle has six goals and 11 points in 17 appearances in 2024-25. He's missed Seattle's past two games due to his lower-body injury. When he's healthy, Eberle figures to serve in a top-six capacity. Ben Meyers is projected to remain in the lineup for a second straight game Wednesday due in part to Eberle's absence.

Rotowire
Head coach Dan Bylsma relayed that Eberle (lower body) is undergoing additional tests Tuesday to determine the extent of his injury, according to Tim Booth of the Seattle Times.
Eberle has missed two consecutive games, and he'll most likely be unavailable for Wednesday's home matchup against Nashville. The right-shot winger has accounted for six goals, five assists and a plus-3 rating through 17 games. Daniel Sprong has filled a top-six role in Seattle's last two contests since being reacquired in a trade from Vancouver on Nov. 8.

Kraken's Jordan Eberle: Will miss at least two games
Rotowire
Eberle (lower body) will miss Saturday's game against the Islanders and Sunday's tilt versus the Rangers, Alison Lukan of the Kraken Hockey Network reports.
Eberle will be evaluated further after the weekend, so a better timetable for his return could be revealed next week. He left Thursday's 3-1 win over Chicago due to the injury. Eberle has six goals and 11 points in 17 outings in 2024-25. Although the Kraken are temporarily losing Eberle, Daniel Sprong might make his debut with the squad Saturday. He was acquired from Vancouver in exchange for future considerations last Friday and has gotten his immigration paperwork approved, which enables him to play for the Kraken.

Kraken's Jordan Eberle: Doubtful to return to game
Rotowire
Eberle (lower body) is doubtful to return to Thursday's game versus the Blackhawks, Alison Lukan of the Kraken Hockey Network reports.
Eberle was injured when he collided awkwardly with the boards following a collision with Chicago defenseman Connor Murphy. The 34-year-old Eberle can be considered day-to-day in the likely event he doesn't get back on the ice Thursday. Daniel Sprong (immigration) might be an option for Saturday's game versus the Islanders if he can get his paperwork sorted out in time, though the Kraken could also opt to call up a forward if Eberle can't play.

Rotowire
Eberle scored the game-winning goal in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Flames.

Eberle has scored all of his goals in Seattle wins so far, and he's up to five tallies, two assists, nine shots on net and a plus-4 rating across six contests. The winger can't keep up such a lofty scoring pace, but he's looking much more intimidating with the puck than he did in a 17-goal, 44-point effort over 78 appearances in 2023-24.

Kraken's Jordan Eberle: Assist in first game as captain
Rotowire
Eberle notched an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Blues.
Eberle was announced as the second captain in Kraken history just before puck drop. The 34-year-old winger signed a two-year extension to stay with the team last March, and he'll likely feature in a top-six role to begin 2024-25. Eberle has topped the 40-point mark in all three of his seasons in Seattle, but at this stage of his career, his fantasy value is limited to deeper formats that emphasize scoring since he doesn't add much physicality.
