Seattle Kraken Host Anaheim Ducks Season Opener

The Seattle Kraken are set to open their 2025-26 NHL season at home against the Anaheim Ducks at Climate Pledge Arena, with puck drop scheduled for 7 p.m. The Kraken will feature key players such as Jared McCann, who returns from a lower-body injury to play on the top line, and rookie Berkly Catton, who impressed in the WHL last season and can play up to nine games before a roster decision is required. The team is looking to improve on last season's performance, where they finished with a 35-41-6 record and struggled defensively, allowing 3.2 goals per game. The Ducks, who had a similar record last season, will be without forward Kaapo Kakko due to a broken hand, and face the Kraken in the first of four meetings this season. Fans can enjoy pregame festivities including parties, live broadcasts, and player autograph sessions. Coverage for the game will be available locally on KSKN 22 The Spot and through various media outlets.
