This Thursday night marks the kickoff of the 2026/27 NHL season for teams like the Seattle Kraken and the Calgary Flames, whose expectations are far from optimistic in the Pacific Division. With that in mind, the odds don't point to a favorite in this game, especially since both teams have met twice in the preseason.
Still, the Calgary Flames lost key offensive pieces like Blake Coleman and Victor Olofsson so that the responsibility will fall on Matt Coronato, Morgan Frost, and Mikael Backlund. As a result, it will be difficult for the Flames to overcome the 212 goals they scored last season, especially since their most relevant additions were two defensemen, Jacob Middleton and Maxim Tsyplakov.
Meanwhile, the Seattle Kraken could become a strong playoff contender, as they acquired a competitive attacker in Mackie Samoskevich from the Florida Panthers. However, the young American player won’t be available for this game due to an upper-body injury, so the Kraken’s offense is expected to depend on its captain, Jordan Eberle, whose contract extension was signed in March.

Our Calgary Flames vs Seattle Kraken Prediction
Given these facts, this divisional game isn’t expected to show big dominance from the Calgary Flames. Nevertheless, it’s undeniable that this team should take advantage of Samoskevich’s absence, as it would radically reduce the Kraken's offensive opportunities.
In conclusion, even though none of these teams are expected to reach the playoffs by the end of the regular season, both will be more competitive than last season. Therefore, the pick for the Seattle Kraken – Calgary Flames is: Total Goals in the 1st Period – Under 1.5!
