| Dec. 13, 2025 | Melanson was called up from AHL Coachella Valley on Saturday. - Melanson has 14 points, 26 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 23 contests for the Firebirds this year. He's up with the Kraken to take the roster spot of Jared McCann (lower body), who went on injured reserve in a corresponding move. Melanson is likely to see bottom-six minutes if he plays during this call-up. | None |
| Nov. 16, 2025 | Melson scored three goals on five shots in AHL Coachella Valley's 5-2 win over Abbotsford on Sunday. - The hat trick doubled Melanson's goal total on the year. He's at six tallies, 10 points, 37 shots on net, 22 PM and a plus-4 rating through 14 appearances. The 22-year-old had just 13 points over 42 regular-season contests in 2024-25, so he's well on his way to taking a step up on offense, though he's unlikely to be elite in that area. Melanson also made his NHL debut for the Kraken last year, and his style of play could be a good fit in a bottom-six role within a couple of years. | None |
| March 7, 2025 | Melanson was sent to AHL Coachella Valley on Friday, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports. - Melanson was recalled by the Kraken on Wednesday, and he made his NHL debut Thursday against Nashville. He was held without a point and recorded four hits while logging 9:53 of ice time in the 5-3 loss. He'll be eligible to take part in the AHL playoffs after being sent down Friday, but it's also possible that he rejoins the Kraken at some point now that the trade deadline has passed. | None |
| March 5, 2025 | Melanson was summoned by Seattle on Wednesday. - Melanson has seven goals, 10 points and 34 PIM in 27 appearances with AHL Coachella Valley in 2024-25. Seattle traded Oliver Bjorkstrand and Yanni Gourde to Tampa Bay, so Melanson might remain with the Kraken for the remainder of the season. | None |
| Sept. 27, 2022 | The NHL has suspended Melanson for two games for an illegal check to the head of Edmonton's James Hamblin. - The incident occurred Monday. The NHL judged that Melanson's hit made the head the main point of contact and that the head contact was avoidable. Melanson had no prior suspension history. The punishment will be served in the next two straight games he's eligible to participate in with Seattle. Melanson signed an entry-level contract in July and isn't expected to make the Kraken's opening game roster. | None |
