Three Takeaways – Kraken lose dress rehearsal game, lineup becoming clearer
It wasn’t quite the game the Seattle Kraken wanted to close out their preseason, but it wasn’t terrible, either. Seattle had a poor start, and at one point trailed 10-1 in shots on goal. But things balanced out as the game wore on, except on the scoreboard, which...
Opportunities for improvement on the Seattle Kraken power play
It is no secret that an area where the Seattle Kraken have an opportunity to improve this season is their power play. That's not to say it was horrible all last season - Seattle ranked 21st in the league - but isolating just playoff teams, they ranked 14th out of the...
After big round of cuts, Shane Wright, Tye Kartye, Ryker Evans still with Kraken… for now
The Kraken announced a sweeping round of cuts from their training camp roster Thursday, assigning four players directly to the AHL and placing 10 players on waivers with the purpose of assigning them to Coachella Valley. The players that got assigned directly to...
Three Takeaways – Players make final statements in 2-1 Kraken win over Canucks
Well, that was a sloppy, ugly, no-good, rotten preseason game, but it ended with the Seattle Kraken taking a 2-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks in Abbotsford, British Columbia. Both sides dressed a lot of guys bound for the AHL, and a few of Seattle's bubble players...

We have turned the corner on training camp from the “Who will stick around for a while?” phase to the “Who will make the opening-night roster?” phase. While there’s plenty of whittling left to do for the Kraken (and a big round of cuts is looming), we feel we’ve seen...
Three Takeaways – Kraken lose to Oilers but see plenty of positives
It’s easy to have negative feelings after a 4-1 loss, but in the preseason, it’s important to think about the *way* a team played. Plus, there will be ample time for negativity during the regular season, so let's save those feelings for now. For Kraken fans, there...
Three Takeaways – Impressive play from youngsters in 3-1 Kraken win
In the split-squad game Monday, we were impressed by several of the young Kraken players that were in the lineup against the Calgary Flames. That night, the roster for the game played in Seattle was almost a 50-50 split between veterans and guys that had no shot at...
How the Kraken aim to improve their power play this season
While the Seattle Kraken registered 100 points in the standings last season and came up just one goal short of a Western Conference Finals appearance, their power play was not one of their strengths. Seattle converted on just 19.8 percent of its power-play chances,...
Three Takeaways – Kraken lose at home, win on road in split-squad games
That was a strange way to kick off the preseason, with half(ish) of the Kraken playing half(ish) of the Flames in Calgary, and the other halves facing off in Seattle. The north-of-the-border portion of the evening ended with a 5-3 Kraken win, led by Kailer Yamamoto...
