Kraken’s offense firing on all cylinders early on

The Seattle Kraken have started the 2026-27 season with a 4-2-0 record following a 5-3 victory over the Washington Capitals. Seattle is tied for the second-most goals scored in the NHL with 26 across the opening two weeks. Jared McCann and Kaapo Kakko currently lead the team in points, alongside offensive contributions from Chandler Stephenson, Vince Dunn, Frederick Gaudreau, and Jordan Eberle.

On Daily Faceoff LIVE, Tyler Yaremchuk noted that Seattle has scored more five-on-five goals-per-60 than the Edmonton Oilers, while being tied with the Colorado Avalanche in overall goals. Analyst Carter Hutton praised Seattle's structured identity but questioned whether a lack of superstar finishers might hinder their playoff pursuit as the season progresses.
