Shane Wright News: Nets first goal of season

Wright scored a goal in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to Ottawa.

Wright opened the scoring for Seattle at the 4:57 mark of the first period with a backhander that went straight past Linus Ullmark. He was a non-factor in the first two games of the season, but Wright seems to be turning things around and has recorded a point in each of his last two appearances. He also took six shots Thursday after not registering a single one in his previous three games, so that uptick might be worth monitoring.
