Kraken Stun Oilers in Thrilling Comeback Victory

In a surprising turn of events, the Seattle Kraken defeated the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 on October 22, 2025, continuing their best start in franchise history. The Kraken, who have now won five of their first nine games, were led by a stellar performance from forward Jordan Eberle, who scored two goals in the victory.

Eberle's first goal came just 1:23 into the game, as he took a cross-ice pass from Matty Beniers and lifted a shot over Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner. The Kraken then doubled their lead in the second period when Tye Kartiye scored his first goal of the season, sending a shot from high in the slot past Skinner.

The Oilers, who had won nine of their previous 10 games against the Kraken, managed to cut the deficit to one goal late in the second period when Evan Bouchard scored a power-play goal. However, Eberle restored the Kraken's two-goal lead with just over seven minutes remaining in the game, tapping in a pass from Beniers for his second tally of the night.

Darnell Nurse scored a late goal for the Oilers, but it was not enough as the Kraken held on for the victory. The win comes on the heels of the Kraken's 3-0 triumph over the Winnipeg Jets, the reigning President's Trophy winners, just three days earlier. With these impressive victories, the Kraken have firmly established themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the early stages of the 2025-26 NHL season.
