Expected score: Calgary Flames 3-4 Seattle Kraken
Calgary Flames travel to Seattle for an NHL matchup on 31 October 2026 with sharply contrasting recent form. The Kraken sit sixth in the standings with 15 points from 12 games, while Calgary occupy 13th place with just 10 points from 11. Seattle's superior record and recent performance make them clear favourites in this encounter.
Team form
Calgary Flames
Seattle's last five games reveal an inconsistent outfit. They defeated Washington 5-3 and Detroit 6-3 in mid-October, demonstrating offensive capability, but have since stumbled against stronger opposition—losing 3-8 to Florida and 2-6 to Vegas. Across these five matches, they scored 22 goals while conceding 21, averaging 4.4 for and 4.2 against per game. The Kraken's defence remains vulnerable despite their higher league position.
Seattle Kraken
Calgary's recent trajectory is deeply concerning. They have won just one of their last five, that solitary victory coming against Anaheim. More troubling are the margins of defeat: losses of 2-6 to Vegas, 2-4 to Anaheim at home, and 3-7 to Colorado highlight a team struggling defensively. Most relevant to this fixture, Calgary lost 1-6 to Seattle just three weeks ago on 5 October. Over their last five games, the Flames have scored only 12 goals while conceding 25—a damning 2.4 for and 5.0 against per game. This defensive fragility is a critical weakness.
Head-to-head
The teams met on 5 October 2026 in Seattle, where the Kraken dominated, winning 6-1. That result encapsulates Calgary's current malaise and Seattle's offensive threat. No earlier head-to-head data is available for this season.
Key factors
Seattle's offensive output (4.4 goals per game recently) contrasts sharply with Calgary's defensive record (5.0 conceded per game). The Kraken have also demonstrated they can exploit Calgary's vulnerabilities, as evidenced by their 6-1 victory three weeks prior. Calgary's only recent win came against a weaker Anaheim side; they have failed to compete against teams of Seattle's calibre. The Flames' inability to tighten their defence—conceding 25 goals in five matches—suggests they will struggle to contain the Kraken's attack. For fantasy purposes, Seattle's forwards represent strong plays, while Calgary's defensive assets carry elevated risk.
Prediction
Seattle are the clear favourites. They hold the superior league position, possess a more potent offence, and have already beaten Calgary decisively this season. Calgary's defensive vulnerabilities and recent form—particularly the 5.0 goals conceded per game average—suggest they will again struggle to contain Seattle's attack. While Calgary showed they can score (4 goals against Anaheim), they lack the defensive solidity to withstand the Kraken's pressure. The model expects a competitive match with Seattle creating the clearer advantage.
Seattle Kraken are strongly favoured to win. The Kraken's superior recent form, league standing, and proven ability to exploit Calgary's defensive weaknesses point to an away victory. Fantasy players should prioritise Seattle's offensive contributors while exercising caution with Calgary's defence. This is a high-confidence pick for the Kraken.
