“They’re doing an MRI to see if it got the tendon, so I don’t know enough yet,” Francis told The Seattle Times. “It wasn’t gushing but it was a deep cut, so they’ve taken him to a hospital and they’re doing an MRI. I think we dodged a bullet, but he’s going to be pretty sore tomorrow.”
Eberle was cut by Jaden Schwartz’s skate after he stepped on a puck and lost his balance.
The 33-year-old has appeared in 13 games this season for the Kraken and scored a goal with three assists.
The Kraken recalled forwards Shane Wright and Ryan Winterton from the AHL's Coachella Valley Firebirds on Wednesday.
