List of Seattle Kraken seasons

The Seattle Kraken are a professional ice hockey team based in Seattle. The Kraken compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference.[1] The team was founded after the NHL approved a proposal by Seattle Hockey Partners to grant an expansion franchise to the city of Seattle,[2] and began play during the league's 2021–22 season.[3] As of the end of the 2024–25 season, the Kraken have won 142 regular season games and appeared in the playoffs one time.[4]

The Kraken struggled during their inaugural season and finished last in the Pacific Division with 60 points. Only the Arizona Coyotes finished with fewer points (57) in the Western Conference that season.[5] During the 2022–23 season, the Kraken achieved a record of 46–28–8 and 100 points, which was good for fourth place in the Pacific Division and the first playoff wild card spot in the Western Conference.[6][7] During the playoffs, the Kraken faced off against the Colorado Avalanche in the first round. They upset the Avalanche in seven games, becoming the first expansion team to win their inaugural playoff series against the defending Stanley Cup champion.[8] However, they lost to the Dallas Stars in the second round, ending their sophomore season.[9] During the 2023–24 season, the Kraken struggled offensively, scoring only 217 goals and achieving only 81 points.[10] This caused the Kraken to fire head coach Dave Hakstol and hire Dan Bylsma.[11][12] However, during the 2024–25 season, the Kraken did worse, achieving only 76 points.[13] Following the season, the Kraken once again fired their head coach, canning Bylsma and hiring Lane Lambert.[14][15] The Kraken also replaced general manager Ron Francis with Jason Botterill, making Francis the Kraken's president of hockey operations.[16]
