Brandon Tanev is ready for spooky season … again.

The Seattle Kraken forward continued the tradition of his viral wide-eyed headshot ahead of the 2024-25 season with an updated version during Media Day on Wednesday.

Back in 2021, Tanev's headshot as a member of the Pittsburgh Penguins went viral for the hilarious look, and it has lived in infamy ever since.

Tanev has been no stranger to wide-eyed headshots throughout his career. Since his first season with the Winnipeg Jets in 2015-16, Tanev has improved the pose every year.
