The Seattle Kraken’s 4-3 shootout win over the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday at Climate Pledge Arena came dangerously close to being the kind of loss that severely damages a team’s psyche. Coming off a dreadful 8-3 defeat at the Florida Panthers on Saturday, blowing a...
The Kraken banked seven of a possible 10 points on their road trip, but a lopsided loss to Florida exposed familiar problems. Here are three takeaways from the finale, including defensive breakdowns and the challenge of matching the league’s best.
If hockey is a game of mistakes, the Seattle Kraken made one—or maybe two or three—too many on Thursday, costing themselves a standings point against the Tampa Bay Lightning. But to their credit, they very nearly overcame those mistakes again and did rally back to...
It wasn’t always pretty, but the Seattle Kraken recovered after coughing up a two-goal lead and kept the Philadelphia Flyers’ historic season-opening winless streak alive with a 3-2 shootout victory. While the Flyers fell to 0-5-3, earning plenty of boos from the...
The Seattle Kraken have had decent results so far this season, but their three previous wins came against the very bad Calgary Flames, the even worse Calgary Flames again, and the floundering Detroit Red Wings. Their first two outings against “good” teams ended in a...

Bummer. The Seattle Kraken, who are now 1-9-0 all time at the Edmonton Oilers, had every chance to win Saturday despite minimal puck possession in the first period, an issue exacerbated by taking three penalties and allowing the Oilers’ lethal power play to tilt the...
You can’t ask for a much better start to the season than what the Seattle Kraken got on Thursday, cruising to a 6-1 win over the Flames in Calgary. The youngsters, who Seattle is relying upon to take a big step in their development this season, literally led the way....
The “Seattle Kraken” came away with a pair of 4-2 preseason wins this weekend over the “Vancouver Canucks” at Climate Pledge Arena on Saturday and the “Calgary Flames” at the not-long-for-this-world Scotiabank Saddledome on Sunday. The quotation marks around the three...
When Bobby McMann entered the Seattle Kraken lineup in the middle of March, he helped lead the team to victories on back-to-back days against Vancouver and Florida, while the team maintained the second wild-card spot in the Western Conference. Since those games, the...
