Oilers lineup tonight: Edmonton’s projected lineup for game against the Seattle Kraken | Mar. 27 2025

On Thursday, the Edmonton Oilers will face the Seattle Kraken on the road after a 4–3 loss to the Dallas Stars last night. While the team won four of its last five before Wednesday's showdown with the Stars, it came up short in a Western Conference showdown, setting the stage for tonight's game against the Kraken.

Edmonton is fresh off a loss last night, while Seattle has lost three straight, with its most recent outing being a 4–3 loss at the hands of the Calgary Flames.

Heading into tonight's game, Edmonton is sitting in third place in the Pacific Division, two points behind the LA Kings and seven points ahead of the Vancouver Canucks. On the flip side, the Kraken are sitting in seventh place in the divisional standings, with their wild-card hopes quickly slipping away.
