Welcome back to Screen Shots, a regular THN.com file in which we take a look at a few hockey topics in smaller bites. Let’s get right to it, shall we?

– The Seattle Kraken announced Thursday it had promoted director of hockey strategy and research Alexandra Mandrycky to assistant GM. This progressive move marks the latest in a slew of hirings of women at the NHL level: on Tuesday, the Calgary Flames hired Canadian national women’s team star Rebecca Johnston to work in prospect evaluation, player development and on-ice instruction, as well as serving in community programs with the Flames Foundation. And today, the Nashville Predators officially hired the first female scout in franchise history – Ronda Engelhardt, a former US National Team player, American collegiate star and the head coach of the Premier Hockey Federation’s Minnesota Whitecaps for the past four seasons.
