Seattle Kraken 2026-27 season outlook
Written 28 September 2026. The Kraken open their sixth season at Calgary on 1 October and host the Flames in their home opener on 4 October. The storyline is goals. Seattle ranked 28th in scoring last season, and general manager Jason Botterill chose not to overhaul the roster, betting instead on a second season under Lane Lambert, a full season of Bobby McMann and growth from young forwards such as Matty Beniers, Shane Wright and Berkly Catton.
Last season came apart after the Olympic break. Seattle were 27-20-9 and third in the Pacific at the break, went 7-17-2 afterwards and finished 34-37-11 with 79 points, sixth in the division and 27th in the league, to miss the playoffs for a third straight season. Captain Jordan Eberle led the team with 26 goals and 55 points, and the penalty kill ranked 31st in the league at 72.2 per cent.
McMann, who scored 10 goals in 18 games after arriving from Toronto on 6 March, signed a six-year contract on 21 June. The same day Seattle sent the 25th pick in the 2026 draft and a conditional 2027 second-round pick to Florida for forward Mackie Samoskevich, and five days later they took defenceman Chase Reid seventh overall. Jaden Schwartz left for Colorado, Jamie Oleksiak for Vancouver and Eeli Tolvanen for the Rangers, all as free agents.
Joey Daccord and Philipp Grubauer are back in goal. Daccord started 46 games last season and saved .897, while Grubauer, entering the final year of his contract, went 13-12-4 with a .909 save percentage, his best in five years. Samoskevich, held out since taking an open-ice hit in a preseason game against Calgary on 24 September, and centre Jake O’Brien, the eighth pick in the 2025 draft, were placed on injured reserve on 27 September.
The Kraken play Carolina at Veikkaus Arena in Helsinki on 12 and 14 November, their first regular-season games outside North America, and by the club’s count no NHL team will travel farther this season. Founding general manager Ron Francis stepped down as president in April, leaving Botterill in charge of hockey operations, and former Vancouver general manager Patrik Allvin joined as an assistant general manager in June. On Bet99’s July board the Kraken were +50000 for the Stanley Cup, 30th of 32.
Seattle Kraken schedule 2026-27
The next five Kraken games, the last five results and the full 84-game regular season, updated twice a day. Use the tabs to switch between them. Times are Eastern, TV is the Canadian broadcaster listed by the NHL, and “2nd night” marks the second game of a back-to-back. The Kraken play 13 back-to-backs this season, and January is the busiest stretch with 16 games.
Where to watch Kraken games in Canada
Counting the NHL’s own listings for the 84 regular-season games, 13 on Sportsnet+, 11 on TVA Sports, 9 on Sportsnet, 5 on Sportsnet One and 2 on Sportsnet 360. Regional listings add 7 on Sportsnet West, 3 on Sportsnet Pacific, 3 on RDS, 2 on TSN2, 1 on Sportsnet Ontario, 1 on TSN5 and 1 on TSN4. 40 games have no Canadian network in the NHL’s listings. A game can appear on more than one channel, so the counts overlap, and listings change through the season.
All 40 games without a Canadian network are the Kraken’s US regional broadcasts. In Canada, Rogers holds the out-of-market rights, so those games stream on Sportsnet+ Premium, which is sold on its own rather than through a TV package, and NHL Centre Ice through a TV provider is the other route. Blackouts apply.
Seattle Kraken roster 2026-27
The current Kraken roster has 25 players, 16 of them born in Canada. Until opening night this is the club’s training-camp list, so it shrinks as players are sent down before the season starts. The status column shows any player on the injury report.

Seattle Kraken odds and how the market sees them
The Kraken markets with the most depth are the season-long futures: the Stanley Cup, the Western Conference, the Pacific Division, a regular-season points total and a yes-or-no price on making the playoffs. On Bet99’s board on 30 July 2026 the Kraken were +50000 to win the Stanley Cup, 30th of the 32 teams on the board after a 79-point season. Our Stanley Cup odds page carries the current prices for all 32 teams.
Three things move a Kraken price during the season. The starting goalie matters most, and the injury section above tracks him. The schedule is next: the Kraken play 13 back-to-backs, and second nights are where tired legs and backup goalies show up in the lines. Then there is form, which our power rankings measure each week, and the race itself in the playoff picture. Picks for the weekend slate are in our Saturday predictions column.

Seattle Kraken history
Seattle’s expansion bid took off on 1 March 2018, when fans placed 10,000 season-ticket deposits in the first 12 minutes of the drive. The NHL’s Board of Governors approved the league’s 32nd franchise on 4 December 2018. Ron Francis was hired as general manager in July 2019, the Kraken name was revealed on 23 July 2020 and Dave Hakstol became the first coach in June 2021. At the expansion draft at Gas Works Park on 21 July 2021, Seattle took Jared McCann, Jordan Eberle, Vince Dunn, Joey Daccord and Mark Giordano, who became the first captain. The Kraken lost their first game 4-3 in Vegas on 12 October 2021. They won 4-3 in Nashville two days later and finished the season last in the Pacific with 60 points.
The breakthrough came in the second season. The Kraken went 46-28-8 for 100 points and the Western Conference’s first wild card, McCann scored 40 goals, Hakstol was a finalist for the Jack Adams Award and Matty Beniers, the club’s first draft pick, won the Calder Trophy. In the first round Seattle beat the defending champion Colorado Avalanche in seven games: Eberle scored the overtime winner in Game 4, and the Kraken won Game 7 in Denver 2-1 on 30 April 2023. Dallas ended the run with a 2-1 win in Game 7 of the second round on 15 May 2023. It is still the club’s only playoff appearance, and the Kraken have never reached the Stanley Cup Final.
The Kraken have missed the playoffs in every season since. Hakstol was fired in April 2024 after an 81-point season, and Dan Bylsma lasted one season before Jason Botterill replaced Francis as general manager in April 2025 and hired Lane Lambert in May. Eberle became the second captain in franchise history in October 2024. In 2025-26 the Kraken were third in the Pacific at the Olympic break but went 7-17-2 afterwards, finished sixth with 79 points and missed the 2026 playoffs, and Francis, by then president of hockey operations, stepped down at the end of the season.
Most famous player: Jared McCann
McCann, from Stratford, Ontario, was a first-round pick of Vancouver in 2014 and also played for Florida and Pittsburgh. The Penguins traded him to Toronto on 17 July 2021, and four days later Seattle took him from the Maple Leafs in the expansion draft. He led the first Kraken team with 27 goals, then scored 40 goals and 70 points in 2022-23, still the club’s single-season records, as Seattle reached the playoffs for the first time.
He has scored at least 20 goals in each of his five Seattle seasons, including 20 in 52 games in 2025-26, and he is the only player to win the club’s MVP award, the Pete Muldoon Award, twice, in 2021-22 and 2023-24. He enters 2026-27 as the franchise leader in goals (138) and points (283), in 367 games. Vince Dunn leads the club in assists (174) and Adam Larsson in games (409), and Matty Beniers won the Calder Trophy in 2023, the only NHL individual award a Kraken player has won.
Jared McCann’s Kraken totals, from the NHL’s official statistics: 367 games, 138 goals, 145 assists and 283 points.

Retired numbers

The banner went up before the first home game, on 23 October 2021, and no other retirement has been announced.
