Kraken vs Flames: Frost Faces Uncertainty in Season Opener

The Seattle Kraken and Calgary Flames will face off in their respective season openers at Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, AB. The game will broadcast live on ESPN+ and puck drop is set for 9:00 p.m. ET.

Both teams finished the previous season with disappointing results, but they're looking to bounce back this year. However, their rosters may change as they rebuild. For instance, center Morgan Frost's future with the Flames is uncertain due to his contract status and last season's performance.

Frost took 1.71 shots on goal per game in 2025-26, a career high but not necessarily a guarantee for this upcoming season. Given that Seattle was not a strong defensive team last year, the shots-on-goal total of 2.5 for Frost may be too elevated.

The Kraken and Flames are essentially tied in terms of odds, with both priced at -110 on the moneyline. The over/under is set at 5.5 (-127o / +107u). A prediction is made by Action Network that Morgan Frost will go under 2.5 shots on goal.
