Much of the Seattle Kraken’s success this season has come from playing from ahead, building a lead and then holding on—sometimes for dear life—or even blowing said lead before bouncing back. In a 5-1 loss to the Minnesota Wild on Saturday, the Kraken were chasing from...

It’s almost time to start asking the question… Are the Kraken good? With their never-a-doubt [wink, wink] 5-3 win over the Utah Mammoth—who definitely are good—on Thursday, Seattle is officially off to its best start in franchise history at 7-3-1 through 11 games....

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...

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...

When the home team is down 5-0 entering the third period, you assume things are over, and the rest will be boring to watch. With that scenario in place Tuesday for the Seattle Kraken, who were getting spanked by the Vegas Golden Knights on home ice through 40 minutes,...

The Kraken should petition the NHL to play the Flames every game. At such an early stage in the season, it’s a little hard to say if Calgary is that bad or Seattle is that good, but for the second time in two chances against that same opponent, the...

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...
