SEATTLE – The Seattle Kraken selected Jordan Eberle as their captain on Tuesday just before their season-opening loss to the St. Louis Blues, 3-2, filling the final void at that spot among the NHL’s 32 teams.

For the first time since the 2010-2011 season, every team in the competition has a captain.

The Utah Hockey Club recently announced Clayton Keller as their captain, and the Buffalo Sabers put the “C” on young leader Rasmus Dahlin before starting their season in Prague. The other new captains this year are Anaheim’s Radko Gudas, Chicago’s Nick Foligno and Tampa Bay’s Victor Hedman, the successor to Steven Stamkos, who was not re-signed and left for Nashville in free agency.

Many teams in recent years have chosen to go without a captain and instead rely on a leadership group of three alternates who wear an “A” on their jerseys.
