Calgary brings a strong recent run into the Saddledome, but Seattle owns a pair of 6-1 wins in this season’s matchup.
The stakes are sharp: Seattle is 8-4-1 with 17 points and a No. 18 power-index rank, while Calgary sits at 5-7-0 with 10 points and ranks No. 28. The Flames have won four of their last five, and the Kraken three of five, but Seattle took both season meetings by 6-1. Calgary’s Joel Farabee leads his team with 12 points in 12 games; Seattle’s Chandler Stephenson has 11 points in 13. The key is whether Calgary can limit Seattle’s scoring chances while avoiding its -11.1 turnover margin per game; the Kraken’s is -9.6, so cleaner puck management could decide a matchup that has tilted decisively Seattle’s way.
