Philadelphia Flyers (0-0-1) vs Seattle Kraken (1-1-1)
Monday, October 18, 2021 at 7:00 pm
This is a play on the PHILADELPHIA FLYERS for our NHL Non-Conference Game of the Month. The Flyers have played only one game this season and that resulted in a home loss against Vancouver in a shootout. Philadelphia allowed two power play goals, one on a two-man advantage, in four attempts so it needs to shore up that aspect of its game. The Flyers played good for the majority of the game but while allowing just 13 shots in the second period, they allowed four goals in the frame and had to play catch-up before losing 2-0 in the shootout period. This is a big game for Philadelphia which has Boston on deck and it really does not want to open winless through three games. Seattle has played very well in its first three games in its inaugural season as it is 1-1-1 and that limited success is keeping this number down for the favorite Flyers. The Kraken have been outshot in their last two games and in their two losses they have gone a combined 0-4 on the power play. All three games have been decided by one goal so it has been considered a success thus far for Seattle but its shots on goal have declined each game, going from 31 to 26 to 20. Here, we play against road teams against the money line after losing their previous game in overtime going up against an opponent after playing a game where eight or more total goals were scored. This situation is 69-29 (70.4 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (34) Philadelphia Flyers
