Both Pacific Division teams are playing out the string with no realistic playoff hopes remaining, but this intradivision matchup still carries stakes for draft positioning and pride. The Flames are road-weary and banged up, while the Kraken have home-ice advantage but enter on a lengthy losing skid.
Team Records & Standings Context
Flames: 32-37-9 (73 points), 11-25-4 on the road. They sit 7th in the Pacific Division (out of the playoffs) with a -47 goal differential. Offense has been anemic (≈2.57 GF/GP), while goaltending has been middling.
Kraken: 32-34-11 (75 points), 17-16-5 at home. They are 6th in the Pacific with a -33/-34 goal differential. Slightly better scoring (≈2.79 GF/GP) but leaky defense (≈3.20 GA/GP).
Neither team can catch a wild-card spot, so the focus shifts to momentum, development of young players, and spoiling the other’s season.
Recent Team Forms (Last 10 Games)
Flames: 5-4-1 (or 5-3-2 per some trackers). They’ve shown sporadic offense with wins like 5-3 @ Anaheim (Apr 4) but also blowout losses (e.g., 3-6 @ Vegas on Apr 2, 2-9 @ Colorado on Mar 30). Road struggles continue (poor record away from Scotiabank Saddledome), though they’ve been competitive in stretches.
Kraken: 2-7-1 or worse in the last 10 (on a five-game losing streak). Recent results include 2-5 @ Minnesota (Apr 7), 2-6 @ Winnipeg (Apr 6), and 2-4 vs. Chicago (Apr 4). They are averaging under 2.5 GF/G and allowing 4+ GA/G lately, with defensive breakdowns evident.
Seattle is scuffling at the worst possible time, while Calgary has shown slight signs of life on the road.
Series History
The teams have split recent meetings this season. Most recent: Seattle 5, Calgary 1 on Jan. 5, 2026 (at Scotiabank Saddledome). Earlier: Calgary 4-2 Seattle on Dec. 18, 2025. Season series is essentially even (1-1-0), with high-scoring affairs common. Historically, Calgary holds a slight all-time edge (11-6-0), but Seattle has owned the last few home games against the Flames.

Key Player Matchups & Projected Lines/Goalies
Projected Goalies
Flames: Dustin Wolf (strong recent form in net) or Devin Cooley
Kraken: Joey Daccord (likely starter if Grubauer is out); backup situation murky
Daccord/Wolf matchup favors whoever gets hot first in a low-event game.
Forward Matchups to Watch
Flames Top Threats: Matt Coronato (hot streak with multi-point games), Connor Zary, Yegor Sharangovich. Look for transition speed and power-play creativity from the young core.
Kraken Top Threats: Jared McCann, Vince Dunn (offense from the back end), Brandon Montour. Seattle’s top line needs to generate more than 2 goals per game to snap the skid.
Defensive/Special Teams: Both teams hover around average on special teams (power play ~18-22%, penalty kill ~80%). Faceoffs and board battles at Climate Pledge Arena will be key—Kraken have home advantage in physical play along the walls.
