Seattle's case rests on two 6-1 wins this season and an offense that scores 3.58 goals per game. Calgary's case rests on three straight wins and a power play that can test a Seattle penalty kill. Neither team has played more than 12 games, so both cases carry early-season noise.

Calgary Flames vs Seattle Kraken recent scores and head-to-head results

Each team played its last three games at home, so the table shows home form for both sides. Seattle's most recent game was a 5-1 loss to the Minnesota Wild on October 24, while Calgary has won three in a row.

Seattle goalie Joey Daccord stopped 56 of 58 shots across the two October meetings, and Calgary's Dustin Wolf stopped 47 of 59. Calgary put 25 and 33 shots on net and scored twice, which leaves finishing as the first place to look. Both meetings came in the opening week, which limits what they say about November 4.

Where do Calgary Flames and Seattle Kraken stand this season?

Through October 26, the Kraken are 7-4-1 with 15 points in 12 games, third in the Pacific Division. The Flames are 4-6-0 with eight points in 10 games, sixth in the division and 13th in the Western Conference.

Seattle has played two more games, so points per game gives a fairer comparison: 1.25 for Seattle and 0.80 for Calgary. The Flames have scored 23 goals and allowed 39, a differential of minus 16, while the Kraken have scored 45 and allowed 42. With 10 to 12 games played, the standings give an early read on the Pacific Division and little more.

Calgary Flames vs Seattle Kraken team news, injuries and projected lineups

Both teams carry injuries at forward. The details below reflect reports through October 26 and can change.

Calgary Flames

Jonathan Huberdeau (hip) and Samuel Honzek (lower body) were listed as injured in the October 26 projected lineups. Mikael Backlund missed two games with an upper-body injury and was a game-time decision against the Toronto Maple Leafs on October 26, so his availability for November 4 is open.

Wolf started both October meetings with Seattle. Devin Cooley, named the NHL's Second Star of the Week, was set to start against Toronto for the fourth straight game, so Calgary's starter for November 4 is unconfirmed.

On October 26, the Flames projected Joel Farabee, Backlund and Matt Coronato on the top line, with Kevin Bahl and Simon Nemec as the top defensive pair. That is a projection for that game and may change.

Seattle Kraken

Jared McCann (lower body) was hurt in the October 22 win over the Utah Mammoth and is reported to be on injured reserve until at least January 2. Jacob Melanson (chest) and Ryan Lindgren (upper body) were also listed as injured on October 24, and Lindgren's four-to-six-week timeline from October 8 runs past November 4.

Seattle used Daccord and Philipp Grubauer as its goalie pair in recent projected lineups, and Daccord started both meetings with Calgary. No starter for November 4 is confirmed.

Seattle's October 24 projection had Kaapo Kakko, Matty Beniers and Jordan Eberle on the top line, with Vince Dunn and Adam Larsson as the top defensive pair. That is a projection and could differ in November.

What could decide Calgary Flames vs Seattle Kraken?

Three storylines stand out from the early-season data: special teams, Calgary's finishing and Seattle's depth.

Can the Flames' power play exploit the Kraken's penalty kill?

Calgary's power play converts 32.0% of its chances through October 26, and Seattle's penalty kill stops 70.6%. The reverse pairing looks different, with Seattle's power play at 23.1% against Calgary's penalty kill at 84.8%.

Special-teams percentages swing quickly over 10 to 12 games. A game with more penalties gives each power play a bigger share of the scoring chances.

Can the Flames turn their shots into goals against the Kraken?

Calgary averages 28.7 shots per game and Seattle allows 31.8, so the Flames can expect to create volume. Their 2.30 goals per game leaves finishing as the central question for the visitors.

A hot goaltender can absorb a high shot count, as Daccord did on October 4, and a different starter in either net would test that pattern.

How will the Kraken manage without Jared McCann and Ryan Lindgren?

Seattle has played one game since McCann's injury, a 5-1 loss to Minnesota on October 24 in which the Kraken scored once. That is one game, so it says little about how the lineup will hold up.

The Kraken allow 3.50 goals per game and kill 70.6% of penalties, so depth losses on the blue line could show up in those areas.

Seattle's route repeats the formula behind its two 6-1 wins: keep Calgary's shots from becoming goals and lean on an offense that outscores a Flames team averaging 2.30 per game. Calgary's route needs power-play goals and a goaltender who can slow Seattle's finishing. Goalie decisions, Backlund's and McCann's status and the October 30 game are the main uncertainties.
