Jarnkrok (COVID-19) will not play in Seattle's season opener.

Jarnkrok is one of five Kraken players in COVID-19 protocol but the only one who has already been ruled out. According to The Athletic, there's a chance the other four (Oleksiak, McCann, Donskoi and Johansson) could clear protocol and play vs. the Golden Knights. Alex True and Kole Lind were recalled from the AHL and will play if needed.

Jarnkrok (undisclosed) is expected to be activated from IR and play on Thursday.

Jarnkrok has been out since the third game of the season but head coach John Hynes said that he "looked good" in practice on Wednesday and he "anticipates" he'll play on Thursday. The Predators placed Brad Richardson on IR on Wednesday, clearing the way for Jarnkrok to be activated.

The Predators signed Calle Jarnkrok to a six-year contract extension worth $12 million ($2.0M AAV).

Jarnkrok, 24, appeared in 74 games with the Predators in 2015-16, scoring 16 goals with 14 assists (30 points). The young Swede has 57 points (25G / 32A) in 167 career NHL games and will likely start the 2016-17 season on the third line, but could work his way into the Predators’ top-6 as the season progresses.

Jarnkrok will be a healthy scratch on Wednesday.

Jarnkrok has yet to record a point while piling up 11 shots and two PIMs in eight games this season. He will take a seat tonight with Gabriel Bourque and Matt Cullen entering the lineup. He has not been all that bad for the Predaotrs this season, but they want more offence from the 23-year-old.
