Calgary vs Seattle Prediction 31 October 2026
🔊 Calgary Flames have a chance to finally get their revenge on Seattle Kraken. However, the timing for payback isn’t ideal. The Flames just saw their winning streak snapped with a loss to Edmonton, while the Kraken continue to pick up wins-even in games where they create problems for themselves. All eyes will be on the hosts’ defense: twice this season, they have failed to contain Seattle’s attack. Will the third attempt end in disappointment as well?
Twice six
📊 Calgary Flames are probably tired of seeing Seattle Kraken on their schedule by now. The teams have met twice this season, and both times the Flames suffered heavy 1-6 defeats. The season opener was spoiled by Vince Dunn and Jared McCann, who each racked up three points. In the next clash in Seattle, Mackie Samoskevich took charge, netting a brace. And it’s worth noting that even before the regular season began, Kraken had already beaten the Flames twice in preseason action (4-2 and 4-3).
Head-to-head statistics Calgary - Seattle
The Flames have been extinguished
Calgary Flames have been steadily recovering from a rough start to the season, stringing together four consecutive wins before their trip to Edmonton. Devin Cooley played a crucial role during that run, posting a .955 save percentage and never allowing more than two goals in any of those games. However, defensive concerns linger-especially after two heavy defeats to Seattle Kraken. On offense, the coaching staff continue to experiment with line combinations, giving opportunities to young talents like Matvei Gridin and Maksim Tsyplakov.
The clash with Edmonton ended in a shutout loss (0-4), but the scoreline wasn't the only setback. Late in the first period, Cooley suffered an injury after a collision with Colton Dach, while forward Brennan Othmann was also forced out of the game. Dustin Wolf came in for Cooley and turned aside 20 shots. Calgary were outshot (24-31) and failed to capitalize on their lone power play opportunity. The injury status of key players now adds further uncertainty ahead of their next fixture.
Match Results: Calgary Flames
They tend to switch off too early.
Seattle currently sit third in the Pacific Division, having won eight of their first 13 games. Lane Lambert’s side have had no trouble dispatching Calgary Flames so far, but other opponents have presented more of a challenge. Their main issue has been closing out games. The Kraken have already let slip a lead of at least two goals in the third period on four occasions, though they've always managed to find a way to win. Chandler Stephenson remains the team’s top scorer with 13 points.
The pattern nearly repeated itself against Toronto. The Kraken went into the second intermission up 4-2, but then all but stopped testing the opposing goalie. Toronto took advantage and drew level with just 90 seconds left on the clock. Brandon Montour came to the rescue, netting the game-winner with just 33 seconds remaining. Seattle escaped with a 5-4 victory, but their late-game issues remain unresolved.

First Period Prediction
Seattle Kraken have scored in the opening period in eight consecutive games. On the road, they are averaging 1.2 goals in the first period over their recent away fixtures. The Seattle Kraken Individual Total Over 0.5 Goals in the First Period at odds of 1.48 looks like a solid pick.
Total Prediction
Calgary Flames have scored under 3.5 goals in 11 of their last 12 head-to-head meetings with Seattle Kraken. At home this season, Calgary are averaging 2.86 goals per game, although that figure has risen to 3.17 in recent home outings. For this matchup, the smart play is on Calgary Flames individual total under 3.5 goals, offered at odds of 1.5.
Safe Bet
Seattle Kraken have avoided defeat in the first period in 7 of their last 8 NHL games. They've also found the net in the opening frame in eight straight outings, though scoring early doesn’t always guarantee a positive result. Our pick: Seattle Kraken not to lose the first period at odds of 1.33.

⭐️ Editor’s Prediction
Calgary Flames just can't seem to figure out the Seattle Kraken. This season, the Flames have already suffered two heavy defeats to Seattle, and they also lost both preseason encounters. Now, heading into another matchup, the hosts are reeling from a shutout loss to Edmonton and are dealing with roster issues. Seattle Kraken have their own problems-especially when closing out games-but they keep finding ways to win. The stats tell the story: Calgary have failed to win in regulation time in seven of their last eight home games against the Kraken. That’s why I don’t see any reason to back the hosts as favorites here. My pick: Seattle Kraken to avoid defeat in regulation (Double Chance X2).
