An absolute must-watch late-season Pacific Division battle is on tap tonight. The Seattle Kraken travel to Rogers Place to take on the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday, March 31, 2026. With the 2025-26 NHL season winding down, playoff positioning is at stake. Here is your complete guide on how to catch the game on TV and streaming platforms, along with a full preview of team records, injuries, and betting odds.
TV Channels and Streaming Options in the USA and Canada
Puck drop is scheduled for 9:00 PM ET (7:00 PM MT / 6:00 PM PT). If you are watching in the United States, the game will be broadcast locally in the Seattle market on KONG and KHN (Kraken Hockey Network). Fans outside the Pacific Northwest can stream the game live nationwide on ESPN+ via the NHL Power Play package. For viewers in Canada, the game will be televised regionally on Sportsnet West (SNW).
Regional Blackouts Explained
If you are streaming via ESPN+ in the United States but live within the Seattle Kraken’s designated broadcast region (which includes Washington, Oregon, and Alaska), you will be subject to regional blackouts. This means the game will be restricted on ESPN+, and you must tune in via your local KHN or KONG television broadcast. Similarly, Canadian viewers in the Oilers’ local market without a cable package including Sportsnet West may face blackout restrictions on national streaming alternatives like Sportsnet+.
Current NHL Season Records and Last Game Results
The Edmonton Oilers enter tonight’s contest sitting comfortably near the top of the Pacific Division with a 37-28-9 record (83 points). They are currently riding a three-game winning streak, coming off a decisive 4-2 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on March 28.
The Seattle Kraken are fighting desperately to stay alive in the Western Conference wild-card hunt with a 32-29-11 record (75 points). They are looking to bounce back after a narrow 3-2 road loss to the Buffalo Sabres on March 28.
Leading Scorers and Key Injuries (2025-26 Season)
Connor McDavid continues to prove why he is the best player in the world. He leads the Oilers (and the entire NHL) with an astonishing 124 points, including 42 goals and 82 assists. For the Kraken, veteran Jordan Eberle is leading the charge with 23 goals and 51 points, while Vince Dunn anchors the playmaking with 30 assists.
Injuries are heavily impacting both squads right now. The Oilers suffered a devastating blow two weeks ago, losing superstar Leon Draisaitl for the remainder of the regular season to a lower-body injury. Edmonton is also without Mattias Janmark (season-ending surgery), while Trent Frederic and Colton Dach are nearing returns but remain out tonight. Seattle will be missing Jaden Schwartz (face) and Ryan Winterton (illness), with Shane Wright currently listed as day-to-day.
Betting Odds, Predictions, and Personal Insight
The oddsmakers currently have the Edmonton Oilers favored tonight at -185 on the moneyline, with the over/under goal total set at 6.5. Personally, even without Draisaitl in the lineup, I believe the Oilers have far too much firepower on home ice for Seattle to handle. Connor McDavid has been putting the team on his back, and Edmonton’s defense and goaltending have tightened up remarkably during their current win streak.
I am predicting a 4-2 victory for the Edmonton Oilers, meaning the total will stay just under 6.5. If you’re betting tonight, taking the Oilers on the 60-minute moneyline provides solid value, but beware of a desperate Seattle team fighting for their playoff lives.
