Lane Lambert has taken the reins as head coach of the Seattle Kraken, aiming to elevate the franchise to playoff contention. Lambert, who led the Toronto Maple Leafs to a successful season as associate head coach, expressed confidence in his ability to improve the Kraken's performance after a disappointing previous season.

Lambert's strategy focuses on establishing a structured system and enhancing special teams, which ranked poorly last season. He inherits a roster featuring notable veterans like Jaden Schwartz and Jared McCann, alongside promising young talents such as Matty Beniers. With a clear vision and a strong focus on development, Lambert is determined to transform the Kraken's fortunes in the upcoming season.
