Overview
- Ryan Winterton netted two goals, including a third-period insurance marker, to lead Seattle past Edmonton in the preseason finale.
- All three Kraken goals in the first period came on special teams, with power‑play strikes from Josh Mahura and Eeli Tolvanen and a shorthanded tally by Winterton off a Calvin Pickard misplay.
- Joey Daccord stopped 32 of 34 shots, capping a strong showing as Seattle went 2-for-6 on the power play and 4-for-5 on the penalty kill.
- Seattle closes camp managing key absences, with Ryker Evans out 6–8 weeks and several regulars sidelined during camp, elevating prospects for early-season roles.
- Short-handed by illness, the Oilers recalled AHL forwards Connor Clattenburg, James Hamblin and Viljami Marjala, while Darnell Nurse, Alec Regula and Matt Savoie were among the bright spots in the loss.
