The Kraken (7-4-5) lines are in a state of flux as coach Lane Lambert and his staff look for a combination that clicks. A single goal per game in three of four outings isn’t cutting it.

“Right now we’re looking for some production,” Lambert said Thursday morning ahead of a game against the Winnipeg Jets.

“I’d love to keep 12 forwards together all year long and never change the lines. You get used to playing with each other. … But right now, we’re not generating enough.”

They never promised to be a high-scoring team, and indeed they were second-to-last in the league with an average of 2.5 goals per game 16 games in. Rather than hoping just one goal is enough — and Tuesday against a flu-ridden Columbus Blue Jackets team, it nearly was — they’re moving pieces around.

Shane Wright, who has almost exclusively been used at center in his young NHL career, swapped places with his winger Berkly Catton in order to try and shake something loose.

“Be a little more free offensively,” Wright explained. “Little less responsibility in the D-zone.”

Catton played center last season in the Western Hockey League but has gone wherever the Kraken need him.

In their lineup tinkering, Lambert’s staff stopped short of reinserting a proven goal-scorer, who was watching instead of playing. The Kraken are carrying a forward who’s averaging a goal every four games just 24 games into his NHL career. Jani Nyman has been healthy scratched four straight games, the odd man out when goaltender Joey Daccord was injured and the Kraken needed to stop sitting their third goaltender.

Nyman made the most of a 12-game trial late last season and made the roster out of this fall’s training camp. He was consistently playing at least 12 minutes while the Kraken were thriving, but his ice time dipped below 10 each of his last two games.

He’s got a quick release and he was consistently putting himself in good spots to use it during the first few weeks of the season. Nyman has three goals through 12 games, though none since Oct. 20. Two of the three goals came on the power play.

The defensive side could use some work, which can be said about most young forwards. As the Kraken are buckling down in their own end under Lambert, that might have made Nyman expendable.

Lambert wants Nyman, like his other healthy scratches, to stay ready.

“When he gets back in, (focus on) his detail, his defensive play,” Lambert said. “And I want him to do what I’m talking about with everybody else. I want him to use his shot.”

Nyman is firing away in practice. Since he doesn’t have to rest up for games he stays out late, tipping shots from teammates and skating in dizzying circles while firing into an empty net.

“I want to improve myself,” Nyman said. “I want to train (well), like I’m ready to play when called.”

The 21-year-old Finn moved to North America last year. He achieved his goal of making it to the NHL but is waiting for another chance to prove himself.

He’s living out of a hotel, but if there’s a sauna, he’s good. Good news — his temporary abode has him covered.

“I like that a lot,” he said.

The Western Conference is still tightly knotted as Thanksgiving nears. The holiday is usually an accurate predictor of playoff teams, as a little over three-quarters of the teams with a spot in late November go on to secure one. The Kraken entered Thursday’s game against the Jets one point out of a playoff spot — and not just a wild-card spot. Both wild-card teams had 20 points to Seattle’s 19. The Edmonton Oilers, too, sat third in the Pacific Division with 20 points.

It’s a much better outlook than most predicted for the Kraken ahead of the season, but the foot slipped off the gas about a week ago. Seattle hung with and even beat more talented teams early on but is struggling to put away the stragglers, like the St. Louis Blues — who had lost eight of 10 games before facing the Kraken — and the Blue Jackets, who were ailing in the finale of a five-game road trip.

Injuries aren’t helping. No. 1 goalie Daccord and perennial top scorer Jared McCann are both on injured reserve. Winger Kaapo Kakko scored a first-period goal Thursday against the Jets, his first point after breaking his hand in the preseason. Soon afterward, Kakko left the game with a lower-body injury and didn’t return.

Daccord is skating with teammates and day-to-day, Lambert said. Fourth-line center Freddy Gaudreau is “getting real close.” He is practicing with the team and recently shed his no-contact red jersey.
