The Seattle Kraken have made a roster move ahead of their final game before they enter the break in the NHL season for the Winter Olympics.

Rookie center Berkly Catton has been placed on injured reserve with an upper-body injury by the Kraken, which comes four days after they announced he would miss the last three games before the break.

Taking Catton’s place on the roster is one of the Kraken’s four players set to compete in the Olympics: Danish center Oscar Fisker Molgaard, who has been recalled from Seattle’s AHL affiliate, the Coachella Valley Firebirds.

Catton has been out of action since Jan. 29 when he skated head-first into a Toronto Maple Leafs player, resulting in a nasty collision.

Catton, who turned 20 last month, has played 40 games this season. He has 11 points on five goals and six assists, and is running a plus/minus of minus-3. The 5-foot-10 lefty shooter from Saskatchewan was selected No. 8 overall by the Kraken in the 2024 NHL Draft, and was a star from 2022-25 for the Spokane Chiefs of the WHL.

Fisker Molgaard, who is also a 20-year-old rookie, was a 2023 second-round draft pick by the Kraken. A 6-foot lefty shooter, he has one point on an assist in two games for the Kraken this season. With Coachella Valley, he has 22 points on seven goals and 15 assists in 36 games.

The Kraken are in Los Angeles to face the Kings at 7 p.m. Wednesday before starting a three-week break in the regular season. Seattle (26-20-9, 60 points) is a point ahead of the Kings for fourth place in the Pacific Division standings, and just three back of Vegas and Edmonton, who are tied for the division lead.

In addition to Fisker Molgaard on Team Denmark, the Kraken have right wings Kaapo Kakko and Eeli Tolvanen on Team Finland, and goaltender Philipp Grubauer on Team Germany in the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics in Italy. Pool play for men’s hockey begins next Wednesday, Feb. 11.
