Selected fourth overall by the Kraken in the 2022 NHL Draft, Wright has struggled so far in his rookie season, recording just one assist over seven games.
The 18-year-old forward has been a scratch for 11 of Seattle's 18 games this season.
TSN Hockey Insider Chris Johnston notes that Wright can spend up to 14 days in the AHL and will likely be released to Canada's World Junior hockey team next month.
