Head-to-head statistics Vancouver - Seattle
Vancouver Canucks Team Overview
In the 2026 calendar year, the league's worst team has managed to win only four games, with two of those victories coming just last week. They defeated the Chicago Blackhawks 6-3 and the Nashville Predators 4-3 in a shootout. Meanwhile, since the New Year, Vancouver have lost 22 games. The Canucks are hopelessly anchored at the bottom of the Western Conference, trailing the playoff zone by 20 points.
At home, the Canucks have dropped 5 of their last 6 games, though uncharacteristically for a bottom-dweller, only one loss was by more than two goals. Adam Foote’s team has the lowest average scoring rate in home games among Western teams (2.44 goals scored) and the worst defense (3.78 goals conceded).
Vancouver’s injury list includes Thatcher Demko, Derek Forbort, Filip Chytil, Jonatan Lekkerimaki, and Pierre-Olivier Joseph. However, one of the team's top scorers, Evander Kane, who has 27 points, has returned to action, pushing Nils Höglander-who is enduring his worst statistical season in the NHL-out of the lineup.
Match Results: Vancouver Canucks
Seattle Kraken Team Overview
Lane Lambert's squad heads into the game against the underdogs on a four-game losing streak. Seattle have fallen to the St. Louis Blues (2-3), Ottawa Senators (4-7), Nashville (2-4), and Colorado (1-5). This string of defeats has knocked the Kraken out of the playoff zone, leaving the American club trailing the San Jose Sharks by one point.
On the road, Seattle have conceded 4+ goals in two consecutive games, impacting their defensive averages-allowing 3.17 goals per away game. Their offensive play also leaves much to be desired, with only 2.70 goals per game, ranking 25th in the league.
The Kraken are dealing with injuries to Jaden Schwartz and Bobby McMann. A team newcomer might make his debut for Seattle in Vancouver, but Schwartz's recovery will take at least another three weeks.

⚡️ Leaders
After facing the Avalanche, the title of Vancouver's top scorer is shared by Elias Pettersson (13 goals, 25 assists) and Filip Hronek (7 goals, 31 assists), both tallying 38 points. The Czech player dished out his 31st assist, solidifying his role as the primary playmaker. Brock Boeser has surged ahead in the goal-scoring race with 16 goals.
Seattle's scoring chart is led by Jordan Eberle, who has accumulated 44 points (22 goals, 22 assists) over 62 games this season. Matty Beniers (17 goals, 23 assists) and Chandler Stephenson (14 goals, 26 assists) share the second spot. Stephenson snapped a four-game pointless streak, his longest since mid-December.
🥅 Goaltenders
With Demko sidelined due to injury, Vancouver splits netminding duties between Kevin Lankinen and Nikita Tolopilo. The Finnish goalie has posted an 89.4% save rate with a goals-against average (GAA) of 3.16 over four games since the break. The Belarusian netminder fares worse, with an 87.1% save percentage and a GAA of 3.30 in five games.
Since the league resumed, Joey Daccord has been the primary goaltender for the Kraken, conceding three times against the Avalanche before being replaced. The American goalie has an 89.1% save rate and a GAA of 3.59 over his last six outings. Philipp Grubauer, in just under three games, has allowed nine goals.
Editor's Prediction
Vancouver have yet to win back-to-back home games this season, losing the next game on all six occasions following a home victory (four times in regulation, twice beyond it). The Canucks have won just 21.9% of their home games-a shockingly low number even for a team at the bottom of the standings.
Considering Seattle have triumphed in their last five visits to Vancouver, a bet on Seattle to win the match (including overtime and shootouts) seems like a smart move, especially given the Kraken's ambitions to climb back into the top eight.
