The Seattle Kraken wrapped up their preseason slate with a 4-2 win against the Edmonton Oilers at Climate Pledge Arena on Wednesday. What stood out from the final exhibition tune-up?

While the Seattle Kraken welcomed two of their top veterans back to action, they had another one absent from Tuesday’s practice as they continue to deal with injuries during training camp leading up to the start of a new season.

The Seattle Kraken fell 2-1 in a shootout to the Calgary Flames at Climate Pledge Arena on Monday, but one of their top young players continued to impress in his second training camp.

It was only the first day of training camp on Thursday, but it appears the Kraken will be granting two of their top young prospects every opportunity to earn a spot on the opening night roster for the 2025-26 season.

Heading into the 2025-26 season with a new coaching staff, the Kraken will be counting on big steps forward from Matty Beniers and recently re-signed Kaapo Kakko to elevate the play of an otherwise aging forwards group.

The Seattle Kraken acquired more center help on Thursday for a cheap price as their busy offseason continues.
