Kral's last NHL appearance came back in 2022-23 when he logged two games for the Maple Leafs. In those outings, the blueliner managed one shot, two hits and two PIM. Given the number of blueliners ahead of him on the depth chart, including John Ludvig who was also waived Friday, Kral faces an uphill battle for minutes this season. |

Kral missed some exhibition action after being injured Sept. 24 during a preseason game against Buffalo. He'll probably start the 2024-25 campaign in the minors, but there's a chance he'll get promoted during the season. He had five goals and 37 points in 46 appearances with the Pelicans in Finland's top league in 2023-24. |

analysis |
Head coach Mike Sullivan had no update on Kral's status after the game. Kral is unlikely to make the Opening Night roster for the Penguins, but if his injury is severe, he could go on season-opening injured reserve. |
Considering Kral had to be helped off the ice in Tuesday's preseason clash with the Sabres, the fact that he is considered day-to-day certainly seems to be good news. The 24-year-old defenseman was unlikely to make the Opening Night roster, but this injury will only serve to further cement his status as an AHL player to start the 2024-25 campaign. |
