2022–23 →

The 2021–22 Seattle Kraken season was the inaugural season for the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise. They played their home games at Climate Pledge Arena. The Kraken played their first regular season game on October 12, 2021 against the Vegas Golden Knights, a 4–3 loss on the road. In their second game just two days later, the Kraken earned their first win in franchise history, defeating the Nashville Predators 4–3 in an away game. [2] The Kraken played their first home game on October 23, against the Vancouver Canucks, a 4–2 loss.

The franchise recorded its first ever shutout on February 22, 2022, with Philipp Grubauer making 19 saves against the New York Islanders 3–0 at home. [3] On March 30, the Kraken were eliminated from playoff contention after a 3–0 loss to the Golden Knights. [4] The Kraken finished last in the Pacific Division with 60 points, the second-worst in the Western Conference ahead of the Arizona Coyotes.

Before their first ever regular season home game on October 23, the Kraken retired the jersey number 32, in recognition of the franchise being the 32nd to join the NHL and in honor of the 32,000 fans who placed deposits for tickets on the first possible day. [5]

Schedule and results

Preseason

The preseason schedule was announced on July 9, 2021. With Climate Pledge Arena not scheduled to open until mid-October, the Kraken instead played their home preseason games at three different WHL arenas in Washington. [8] On September 26, 2021, the Kraken beat the Vancouver Canucks 5–3, giving them their first preseason win in franchise history. [9]

Regular season

The regular season schedule was released on July 22, 2021, [16] with only about a handful of games scheduled in February as a result of NHL players participating in the 2022 Winter Olympics. [17]

Draft picks

Expansion draft

Seattle filled its roster by selecting players in the 2021 NHL Expansion Draft. The 2021 draft used the same rules as the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft did for the Vegas Golden Knights. The Kraken had to select or sign one player from each existing team except for Vegas. Teams opted to protect some of their players against being drafted. [155]

Entry draft

Before the draft lottery, the Kraken were given the same odds as the team with the third worst point total from 2020–21 season, which meant that they would not draft any lower than fifth overall and would draft third in each subsequent round. [156] On June 2, 2021, the Kraken received a second overall pick in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft during the draft lottery. [157]

Below are the Seattle Kraken's selections at the 2021 NHL Entry Draft, which was held on July 23 and 24, 2021, virtually via video conference call from the NHL Network studios in Secaucus, New Jersey, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
