Kraken won over the Edmonton Oilers in the last pre-season game before opening day.

The Seattle Kraken faced the Edmonton Oilers at home for their last preseason game, dominating in the second and third periods to win 6-2.

The first period featured several scuffles and another set of missed power play opportunities for the Kraken. Neither team scored, leaving the period tied at 0-0.

Both teams came out hungry for a goal during the second period, and the Seattle Kraken were the first to score with a tip-in from Brandon Tanev at 5:52, followed by a backhand goal from Shane Wright.

The Oilers evened things up with a power play goal from  Leon Draisaitl at 11:15 and a wrist shot from Travis Dermott at 13:06.

The Kraken were not done scoring for the period and added another pair of points to the board. First with a wicked slap shot from mid ice from Brandon Montour at 18:34 and a wrist shot from Shane Wright at 19:09. 

The crowd at Climate Pledge Arena were barely done celebrating Montour's goal when Wright scored his second of the game. The second period would end 4-2 Seattle.

The Kraken completely dominated the third period, scoring two more goals against the Oilers' starting goalie, Olivier Rodrigue. First, a tip-in from Jaden Schwartz at 14:48, followed by a snapshot from Will Borgen at 17:08. The final score was 6-2 in favor of Seattle. Kraken starting goalie Philipp Grubauer, who missed the morning skate to rest, was on point, blocking 30 shots on goal from the Oilers.

Shane Wright earned the 1st Star of the Night, Brandon Montour the 2nd Star, and Philip Grubauer the 3rd Star.
