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.

Several Kraken players managed to raise their stock regarding their chances of making the roster or moving up the organizational depth chart in the preseason opener against the Canucks, while others did the opposite.

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.

Despite all the offseason changes to the Seattle Kraken roster, the organization will rely on the returning top line to pick up where it left off last season to lead the charge in 2025-26.
