Match Analysis: Seattle Kraken vs San Jose Sharks – Prediction
Match Details
- Date: Saturday, November 15, 2025
- Time: 3:00 AM UTC
- Location: Climate Pledge Arena, Seattle, Washington
Game Overview
The Seattle Kraken host the San Jose Sharks in a Pacific Division matchup. The Kraken enter as the favored team with a strong home record (5-1-3), while the Sharks are traveling as underdogs after a recent devastating 6-1 loss to Seattle on November 5, 2025. This represents a rematch where the Kraken will look to capitalize on home-ice advantage and recent momentum.
Key Factors to Consider
- Seattle Kraken (8-4-5, 21 points) hold a superior record with better overall performance. The Sharks (8-7-3, 19 points) have been inconsistent, suffering a dominant 6-1 defeat to the Kraken just 10 days prior. The Kraken's home record of 5-1-3 demonstrates significant home-ice advantage, while the Sharks struggle on the road (4-4-0 away record).
- The teams met on November 5, 2025, with Seattle decisively winning 6-1. Macklin Celebrini (1 goal, 2 assists) led the Sharks' weak offensive performance. This recent matchup heavily favors the Kraken entering the rematch, though the Sharks may seek redemption.
- Information regarding current injuries is not available in the provided data. Notably, Tage Eberle recently showed strong performance with a 2-goal game for Seattle, and Mattias Samuelsson leads the Kraken's scoring with production metrics that warrant monitoring.
- Home-ice advantage is significant for Seattle. The Kraken's 5-1-3 home record versus the Sharks' 4-4-0 away record creates a substantial environmental advantage. The short turnaround since their previous meeting (10 days) suggests familiarity with matchup dynamics.
- The Kraken will seek to maintain home dominance and continue their strong Pacific Division positioning. The Sharks face pressure to respond after the humiliating 6-1 loss and avoid falling further behind in the competitive division standings.
