Seattle vs Edmonton Prediction 26 October 2025
📣 In another regular season clash, Seattle will host Edmonton at the Climate Pledge Arena. Both teams hail from the Pacific Division and have shown inconsistent performances at the start of the season. So, who will emerge victorious on Saturday night? Let's dive in.
Head-to-Head
Last season, the teams clashed four times. The Oilers secured three victories, while the Kraken managed just one home win. That March victory deserves a special mention. Dan Bylsma's squad netted five goals against Calvin Pickard in the second period-a rare sight these days. It seemed the Washington State team was out for revenge after losing to the visitors just days earlier. On March 23, Edmonton triumphed 5-4, with Seattle staying competitive until the final whistle. The teams also met during the recent preseason. The current hosts claimed two wins, capitalizing on defensive errors from players who ultimately didn't make Edmonton's main roster.
Head-to-head statistics Seattle - Edmonton
Seattle Kraken Team Overview
The Kraken have had a shaky start to the season, but their overtime victories against Vegas and Toronto have left a mark. The toughest blow for the Washington State team came from Philadelphia, who scored five goals past Joey Daccord on home ice. On October 24, Bylsma's squad managed to shut down a formidable Winnipeg, scoring twice into an empty net in the final moments. Seattle's current top scorer is former St. Louis forward Jaden Schwartz, with eight points. In the upcoming match against Edmonton, McCann and Montour may remain absent. Their presence will definitely be missed, especially on the power play.

Edmonton Oilers Team Overview
Not long ago, the Stanley Cup runners-up suffered three consecutive defeats. The Alberta-based team faced a challenging schedule that sent them on an extended road trip. Knoblauch's squad put in the effort, scoring at least two goals in each game, but the increased workload took its toll. However, by the end of their away series, the Canadian team finally secured a long-awaited victory. They edged out Ottawa in overtime (3-2 OT). McDavid and company kicked off their home stand with a thrilling win over Montreal (6-5). There are few concerns about the Oilers' offense; even former Khabarovsk Amur forward David Tomasek found the net. However, their defense continues to raise eyebrows. It's become clear that relying on Nurse and Pickard is a risky proposition.

🏒 Projected Lineups
Seattle: Daccord - Dunn, Larsson - Karton, Beniers, Eberle
Edmonton: Skinner - Ekholm, Bouchard - Howard, McDavid, Mangiapane
🥅 Goalies
Team USA's goaltender Joey Daccord made a remarkable start to the regular season with a stellar performance against Anaheim, stopping 35 shots from the young California side. His standout achievement, however, was a shutout against Winnipeg, where he made 32 saves.
Edmonton fans are still waiting for Connor Ingram at the start of the season. After Pickard's less-than-convincing performances, the coaching staff is likely to turn once more to Stuart Skinner as their last line of defense. The Canadian currently holds a respectable goals-against average of 2.68.
Editorial Prediction
In the upcoming Western clash on the ice, the most reasonable bet would be on over 5.5 goals. This wager has been successful in four of the last five head-to-head matchups between the Oilers and the Kraken. Edmonton tend to concede a lot on the road, yet they excel in power plays, often relying on their star forwards McDavid and Draisaitl. Seattle's low-scoring game against Winnipeg was more of an outlier in their stats this season. The team from Washington state has already delivered goal-fests against Canadian teams, resulting in high-scoring draws with Ottawa and Montreal.No comments
