SEATTLE (AP) — Brandon Tanev is out for the season with a serious knee injury but the Seattle Kraken are finding ways to keep one of the team’s most popular players involved in strengthening the connection with fans in the new NHL market.

His role could include stopping in at a youth hockey clinic or jumping on a virtual meeting with season-ticket holders.
