Kraken Score 21 Goals Through Five Games

The Seattle Kraken opened the 2026-27 season with a volatile but high-scoring offense, averaging 4.2 goals through their first five games and getting goals from a wide range of players. They followed a 6-2 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights—who built a 5-0 lead behind two goals apiece from Tomas Hertl and Victor Olofsson—with a 6-3 win over Detroit. Frederick Gaudreau scored twice and Ben Myers had a goal and two assists in Seattle’s victory, while Philipp Grubauer made 38 saves. The early results suggest Seattle can score in bursts against varied opponents, though sustaining that production consistently remains a challenge.
