Seattle Kraken 2025-26 NHL Betting Lines
Following two setback seasons, the Seattle Kraken had enough of a productive offseason to inspire hope for a serious run to the playoffs.
In their second season, the Seattle Kraken shocked the hockey world. Not only did Seattle show a 40-point improvement from their inaugural season, but the Kraken also upset the defending Stanley Cup champion Colorado Avalanche. Colorado was a prohibitive favorite, and the Kraken took the town by beating them. However, that proved to be the pinnacle for the Seattle franchise. Since that upset, the Kraken have fallen back and missed the playoffs for the past two seasons. And after firing Dave Hakstol after an 81-point season in 2024, the Kraken slipped to 76 points under Dan Bylsma. As a result, Bylsma was fired. Lane Lambert was named the third head coach in Seattle Kraken history.

Off-Season Moves for 2025-26
In: Mason Marchment, Frederick Gaudreau, Ryan Lindgren
Out: Andre Burakovsky, Michael Eyssimont
Dumping Andre Burakovsky and adding Mason Marchment was tidy business for Seattle. Burakovsky had been floundering the last couple of years for the Kraken while Marchment looked like top-six caliber for the Stars — for $1 million less, too. Couple that with the veteran presence of Ryan Lindgren pushing Josh Mahura out of the lineup, and the Kraken look a bit more competitive going into next season.
Whether that should’ve been the plan, given the current league landscape and the prize waiting for the league’s worst team at the end of this season, is an argument for another time.
New GM Jason Botterill utilized the Kraken's cap space in ways that others couldn't, which was crucial to his first offseason in the role. It all started with trading Burakovsky and his $5.5 million cap hit to the Blackhawks. From there, he took advantage of the Stars' cap issues to get another winger with consecutive 22-goal seasons in Marchment, then added a two-way, bottom-six anchor down the middle in Gaudreau from the Wild.
They still had to have enough space to sign Lindgren in free agency and re-sign RFA Tye Kartye, while Ryker Evans and Kaapo Kakko await new deals.
Key Players
C Jared McCann is one of the original members of the Kraken and scored a career-best 40 goals two years ago. He played for the Florida Panthers from 2017-18 through 2018-19 before moving on to the Pittsburgh Penguins. This past season, McCann had 22 goals, 39 assists, 61 points, and a +8.
D Vince Dunn is a valuable quarterback on the power play. He began his NHL career with the St. Louis Blues in 2017-18 and was on their 2019 Stanley Cup championship team. He is an original member of the Kraken. In 2024, he scored 11 goals and 35 assists. This past year, he has had 11 goals, 28 assists, 39 points, and a -3.
Goaltenders
Goaltender Joey Daccord is an original member of the Kraken, but this is his first season with serious playing time. Last year, his goals against average was 2.75, and his save percentage was .906. His record is 27-23-5 with two shutouts.
Head Coach
Dan Bylsma wasn’t given much of a chance, as he was fired after one season.
Lane Lambert takes over after previously serving as head coach of the New York Islanders. His career record is 61-46-20. Lambert is a former NHL player and a longtime assistant coach in the NHL.

Seattle Kraken History
For the first time since 1924, Seattle put a National Hockey League team on the ice. The Seattle Metropolitans won a Stanley Cup championship in 1917 but folded in 1924. On October 12, 2021, the Kraken played their first-ever game as a franchise against the Vegas Golden Knights. On October 23, 2021, Seattle hosted the Vancouver Canucks in their first home game at the Climate Pledge Arena. The Kraken and NHL hope an intense rivalry between Seattle and Vancouver will develop based on proximity.
Seattle got off to a promising start with a distinguished logo and snappy uniforms. The Kraken is already emphasizing community involvement and inclusion. The city of Seattle developed a poor reputation for handling riots and the CHAZ Zone in the summer of 2020, and it is hoped that the Kraken can help change the narrative and improve the city's image, which has been perceived as lawless and radical.
In goal, the Kraken went with Philipp Grubauer as the number one. Grubauer arrived from the Colorado Avalanche, where he backstopped a team tied with the Vegas Golden Knights for the best regular season record in 2020-21.
Of course, the Vegas Golden Knights’ incredible run to the 2018 Stanley Cup Final as a first-year expansion team puts plenty of pressure on Francis and Hakstol. But Seattle vows to build for the future regardless of those comparisons.
The best part of the 2021-22 season was the tremendous fan support from Seattle. Fans showed great enthusiasm and loyalty.
Television play-by-play man John Forslund is arguably the best in the NHL. Exciting news came when Ed Olczyk was hired away from the Chicago Blackhawks, where he was their long-time color commentator. Olczyk has also been on NBCSN and TNT national broadcasts for several years.
