The Nashville Predators traded forward Matthew Wood to the Seattle Kraken for forward Shane Wright on Sunday.
It's a one-for-one swap of a pair of young players seeking fresh starts after each was initially seen as part of his former franchise's future.
The trade also comes as both teams came into the day fighting for a playoff spot with Thanksgiving in the U.S. drawing closer. The Kraken (8-5-1) are third in the Pacific Division in the early going, while the Predators (5-4-5) are the first team behind the St. Louis Blues for the second Western Conference wild-card spot.
