The Seattle Kraken faced off against the Philadelphia Flyers in an exciting match that ended in a 6-4 victory for Seattle. Eeli Tolvanen, Jordan Eberle, and Shane Wright were the stars of the game, scoring three goals in less than three minutes during the second period.

Tolvanen’s goal came at the 14:57 mark of the second period, breaking a 2-2 tie. Eberle followed up with a goal at 17:44 to make it a two-goal game, and Wright quickly added another goal just eight seconds later, giving Seattle a comfortable three-goal lead. Jared McCann also contributed a goal in the second period for the Kraken.
Although the Flyers fought back with goals from Cam York and Jamie Drysdale in the third period, Oliver Bjorkstrand’s goal for Seattle extended their lead to 6-4 with just over five minutes remaining in the game. This goal proved crucial in securing the victory for the Kraken.
Scott Laughton was a standout player for the Flyers, scoring twice in the first period. Brandon Montour also added a goal for the Kraken, while Chandler Stephenson marked his 500th NHL game with an assist. Goalkeeper Philipp Grubauer made 21 saves to help Seattle clinch the win.
For the Flyers, Laughton’s strong start to the season continued with two goals and three points in four games.

On the other hand, the victory marked the first home win for Kraken head coach Dan Bylsma, after a disappointing home opener loss to St. Louis.
After the Flyers narrowed the gap to 5-4 in the third period, Bjorkstrand’s breakaway goal at 14:51 provided some breathing room for Seattle and sealed the win.
