Vancouver vs Seattle Prediction 27 September 2025
🔊 Vancouver continue their preseason preparations, with their next opponent being Seattle. The hosts have played two preseason matches with vastly different performances, which can be attributed to the varying lineups. The visitors, meanwhile, have also been inconsistent, although they haven't been utilizing their starting players as actively, given that this will be their third consecutive away game.
Head-to-Head
The teams faced off in a preseason matchup just a few days ago. In Seattle, the local hockey squad managed to secure a victory (5-3) in a rather dominant fashion. Seattle's numerous attacks often culminated in shots on goal.
Head-to-head statistics Vancouver - Seattle
Vancouver Canucks Team Overview
Adam Foote's squad has been delivering mixed performances so far, which can be attributed to their varying lineups and the absence of key players. However, conceding six goals over 120 minutes should certainly give the coaching staff something to ponder. The loss to Seattle was quite painful (3-5), while the victory against Calgary was modest at best (3-1). Vitali Kravtsov made his debut for the Canadian club but didn't make a mark on the score sheet, even though expectations are high for him to bring creative and effective solutions.

Seattle Kraken Team Overview
The visitors have already played three preseason games, each with distinctly different outcomes. They secured a convincing victory over Vancouver (5-3), followed by a heavy defeat against Calgary (1-4). It's worth noting that the lineups varied significantly. Their trip to Edmonton can be deemed successful (4-1), although the opponent clearly played passively and lacked ambition. Mason Marchment, who recently joined from Dallas, made his debut for his new club, but he didn't register any points. Nonetheless, he's expected to share his experience with the younger players, as he's featured in the NHL playoffs every season of his career.
Match Results: Seattle Kraken
🏒 Projected Lineups
Vancouver: Demko - Willander, Pettersson - MacEachern, Chytil, Hoglander
Seattle: Daccord - Evans, Fleury - Tolvanen, Stephenson, Marchment
🥅 Goalies
Vancouver's goaltender Thatcher Demko featured in a preseason matchup against Calgary and was exceptional as usual. The Canadian allowed just one goal and secured the win for his team. The key for the netminder is to stay injury-free, as he's been plagued by them for years.
Seattle's goalie Joey Daccord played two periods against Edmonton and posted a perfect save percentage. He also faced Vancouver in a previous game where he was less reliable, with a save percentage of just 81.8%. Now he has a chance to make amends.
Editor's Prediction
There's a strong case for expecting a full-fledged comeback. For Seattle, this marks their third consecutive away game, making it impractical to field their full starting lineup under such circumstances. The hosts, on the other hand, will aim to capitalize on this situation and settle the score with their direct rival in the Pacific Division. The pressure on Joey Daccord's goal is likely to be immense from the outset, and it's doubtful the visitors' defense will cope effectively, not that they have much incentive to do so anyway. The primary aim of preseason games is to assess the depth of the squad. Our bet is on a Vancouver victory in regulation time.No comments
