Wright’s Spitfires entered the OHL playoffs as the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference but were swept in an upset by the No. 8 seed Kitchener Rangers.
This will be Wright’s second trip to the Firebirds after scoring four goals in five games on a conditioning stint earlier this season. That came after the Kraken kept the forward as a healthy scratch for an extended period in the fall after recording just one assist in seven games. He briefly returned to the Kraken, and scored a goal against the Montreal Canadiens, before heading to Canada’s World Junior Championship training camp in December.
Wright joined the Spitfires in January after a trade with Kingston and scored 15 goals and 37 points in 20 OHL games before adding a goal and three points in four playoff games.
Coachella Valley (47-15-5-2) sits in second place in the AHL’s Pacific Division standings with three games remaining.
