KING 5 and KONG are the official local television partners of the Kraken, bringing the hockey team to free over-the-air live television. The stations will air 72 of the team's 82 regular-season games and national broadcast partners will show the remaining 10 games.

The Kraken have traded fan favorite Brandon Tanev to the Winnipeg Jets. The forward is nicknamed ‘Turbo’ because of his high energy and physical approach to hockey. Tanev was held out of Thursday’s game against the Nashville Predators, indicating a move was likely. In 238 games with the team, Tanev scored 41 goals and notched 32 assists.
