Kraken 4, Canucks 3 at Rogers Arena

Seattle beat Vancouver 4-3 at Rogers Arena in a preseason game that finished in regulation.

Seattle finished its visit to Rogers Arena with a 4-3 preseason win over the Vancouver Canucks. The one-goal result was decided in regulation, with DeBrusk credited as the winning goal scorer and Lankinen as the winning goalie.

How the Game Played Out

The final score gives this game a clear shape on the board: Seattle ended with four goals, Vancouver with three, and the margin was one. The game was recorded as a regulation result, not an overtime or shootout finish. That makes the final 4-3 the complete account of the outcome, with the Kraken leaving Vancouver as the winning side.

For Seattle, the fourth goal was the difference in the final tally. DeBrusk received the winning-goal credit, while Lankinen was recorded as the winning goalie. Those two names anchor the official result: one attached to the decisive score, the other to the winning team’s goaltending credit. Vancouver’s three goals kept the home side within one on the final board, but the Canucks finished short of the tie.

The game took place during the NHL preseason, with Vancouver designated as the home team at Rogers Arena. Seattle’s 4-3 win therefore stands as a road result in exhibition play. The final score also gives the matchup a straightforward measure: four goals for the Kraken, three for the Canucks, and no additional period or shootout needed to determine the winner.

What the Result Means

Seattle gets the preseason result, and Vancouver takes a one-goal home loss from the matchup. The setting matters: this is a preseason game, so the result belongs to the teams’ preparation slate rather than the regular-season standings. For a recap of this game, the central takeaway is the confirmed outcome in Vancouver and the names attached to the winning goal and goalie credits.

A 4-3 finish puts both teams on the scoresheet with multiple goals, while leaving Seattle with the extra tally. That provides a clear, limited snapshot of this meeting without turning one exhibition result into a broader claim about either club’s season. For the Kraken, the game ends with a regulation win at Rogers Arena; for the Canucks, it ends with a final score of 3-4 at home. Their next preseason appearances will continue the preparation schedule beyond this result.
