Welcome back to the return of NHL Predictions. Each day, Last Word on Hockey takes a look at the games that are happening and gives our predictions for each one, breaking down head-to-head matchups and other factors that may play in.

A big part of this success is forward Jonathan Huberdeau, who's tallied three goals through the first four outings. He skates on the first PP unit, which could strike against a Seattle Kraken team sitting in the bottom half of the league in both penalty minutes taken per game and PK percentage.

Oliver Bjorkstrand and Yegor Sharangovich are two of the top players to watch when the Seattle Kraken play the Calgary Flames at Climate Pledge Arena on Saturday, October 19 at 10:00 PM ET. See below to read more about Kraken vs. Flames leaders, insights, and a predicted winner.
