Seattle vs Calgary Prediction 5 November 2026
๐ Seattle Kraken and Calgary Flames have already met three times this season, with at least eight goals scored in every game. Seattle won the first two, but Calgary gained emphatic revenge in late October. Now they meet again in Seattle, where the hosts will look to cement their place in the Pacific Divisionโs top three. Calgary trail by three points but arrive in good spirits after a recent win over San Jose. Can the visitors repeat their success from a week ago?
Blowouts Here, There and Everywhere
๐ The teams have met three times this season. Seattle Kraken cruised to two 6-1 wins over Calgary Flames, including one on the road. But the tables turned on October 31, when the Flames scored six in a 6-2 victory. Aydar Suniev and Matvei Gridin were among the scorers, with Gridin also adding an assist. All three head-to-head meetings have ended in emphatic wins, but the Kraken still hold the edge.
Head-to-head statistics Seattle - Calgary
Seattle are looking to bolster their attack
Seattle Kraken are third in the Pacific Division with 17 points from 14 games, but their penalty kill has been a serious problem: opponents have scored 10 times on their last 17 power plays. Jared McCannโs injury has added to their concerns, with the forward expected to miss around 10 weeks. To help fill the gap, Seattle traded Shane Wright to Nashville for Matthew Wood. The new arrival has three points in 14 games this season after scoring 17 goals last season.
Seattleโs most recent meeting with Calgary Flames showed that attacking intent alone will not be enough. Kraken scored twice through Frederic Gaudreau and Mackie Samoskevich but conceded six goals. At five-on-five, they accounted for just 40.3% of shot attempts, though they were almost level with Calgary on chance quality (50.2%). Gaudreau scored his seventh goal of the season, matching his total for all of last season, while Berkly Catton extended his point streak to six games.
Match Results: Seattle Kraken
Calgary Have Reason for Optimism
Calgary Flames are fifth in the Pacific Division with 14 points from 15 games. Their form has been inconsistent, but they followed a rout of Seattle Kraken with a win over San Jose. Joel Farabee leads the attack with 15 points, while Matt Coronato has 14. Coronato was particularly effective against Seattle Kraken, recording four points. Calgary Flames continue to struggle on the road, however.
In San Jose, Calgary Flames had to find a different way to win. Adam Klapka opened the scoring after a first-period takeaway, and William Strรถmgren scored the winner midway through the third for his first NHL goal. Dustin Wolf made 26 saves and was named the gameโs first star. Calgary Flames were outshot 27-22 and went 0-for-3 on the power play, but held on for a 2-1 win.

First-period prediction
Seattle Kraken have scored in the first period in ten straight NHL games. They average 1.33 first-period goals at home, while Calgary Flames concede 1.29 on the road. Weโre backing Seattle Kraken over 0.5 first-period goals at odds of 1.43.
Goals Prediction
Calgary Flames have scored fewer than 2.5 goals in eight of their last nine NHL away games. They are averaging 1.71 goals per game on the road this season and 2.0 across their recent away fixtures. However, Seattle Kraken are conceding an average of 3.67 goals per game at home, which adds some risk. Our pick is Calgary Flames under 2.5 team goals at odds of 1.98.
A Solid Bet
The first period has produced fewer than 2.5 goals in nine straight Calgary Flames games. Away from home, the Flames average 0.43 first-period goals, while Seattle Kraken concede 0.83 in the opening period at home. Our pick is under 2.5 first-period goals at odds of 1.25.
*Odds are approximate and may vary between sportsbooks.
โญ๏ธ Editorโs Prediction
The three head-to-head meetings this season have produced 23 goals, but that does not mean every period will be high-scoring. The second period is particularly worth a look. In eight of the last nine meetings between Seattle Kraken and Calgary Flames at the Krakenโs home rink, the teams have combined for no more than two goals in those 20 minutes. The same total has landed in six of the Flamesโ last seven away games. My pick is under 2.5 goals in the second period.
Will this prediction come true?
