Seattle Kraken forward Brandon Tanev suffered an ACL injury and will miss the remainder of the season, the team announced Monday.
He was hurt during the Kraken's 5-3 loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Dec. 18.
Details on the 29-year-old's surgery and recovery will be provided at a later date.
Tanev got off to a hot start with Seattle, notching six goals in his first eight contests. Though his production cooled, he currently has the third-most goals on the team with nine, trailing only Jared McCann and Jordan Eberle.
A fan favorite in Seattle, Tanev scored two goals in the Kraken's first franchise win on Oct. 14 against the Nashville Predators, then potted another pair against the Montreal Canadiens in the team's first home victory later that month.
He will end the 2021-22 campaign with 15 points in 30 games.
Tanev was the Kraken's pick from the Pittsburgh Penguins during the 2021 expansion draft.
