We’ve seen this movie before. After a long win streak gets snapped for an NHL team, it is very typical for that club to lose at least a couple games soon after the streak ends. The challenge is keeping the dip that inevitably comes to nothing more than a game or two....
The Seattle Kraken players and their head coach were not hanging their heads after losing 4-1 to the Tampa Bay Lightning Monday afternoon. Even with a perfect seven-game road trip in the rearview, you just knew coming in that this was going to be a tough one, and...
If your early season belief in the Kraken waned in December, perhaps it has been reinstated now. After being blown out by the Oilers at home to close out 2022, Seattle has started the 2023 calendar year with three impressive full-team wins. The most recent Kraken...
The Kraken sure needed that win against the Islanders, and when the final horn sounded (actually, the final horn never sounded, but more on that later), Seattle left no doubt as to which team deserved the victory. After getting shellacked by the Oilers Friday,...
Hey, if you take out the first 10 minutes, that’s a 3-2 hockey game. Unfortunately for Seattle, though, by the time 10 minutes had elapsed, the Kraken had effectively already lost to the Oilers after giving up four goals, including three in the first 3:55. ...
A jam-packed Climate Pledge Arena was rocking and rolling Wednesday with an almost playoff-like atmosphere as the Kraken hosted the Calgary Flames. The home team had a chance to create a memorable night for the 17,151 in attendance, many of which were there taking...

The Kraken were in the holiday spirit Tuesday, and they gifted their home fans with a solid 5-2 win over a St. Louis Blues team that had Seattle’s number coming into the game. In fact, the Kraken had lost all four previous meetings against the Blues. In front of a...
Getting a win over the Winnipeg Jets Sunday felt important for the Seattle Kraken on multiple levels. Not only has the team been in a rut since the start of December, this particular game was against an opponent that was on the second night of back-to-back games...
A slow start, a bad goal, and three bad minutes of hockey in the second period were all it took for the Kraken to get zapped out of Tampa Bay by the Lightning in lopsided fashion. Tampa Bay’s stars were all shining at Amalie Arena, and after Seattle showed some...
What an odd game that was. With Shane Wright scoring his first NHL goal and just generally buzzing throughout the first period, it seemed for a while like we were headed for a storybook type of night for the Kraken against the Canadiens. But somehow, despite...
That’s the way the cookie crumbles. The Kraken lost 5-1 to the Florida Panthers Saturday, snapping their franchise-record win streak at seven games. For a while, it felt like this game could end up being a carbon copy of the previous Kraken game against the...
