Seattle Kraken vs. Philadelphia Flyers Prediction
I’m on the Flyers here. The loss to the Flames stung, but I’m not giving the Flyers flack for losing to the Jets in a revenge spot with Connor Hellebuyck in goal, even on a back-to-back. The Kraken continue to have issues winning games on the road and have issues with consistency, and I just think that in the end, the Flyers are the much better team here and find a way to get the job done in this one. Give me the Flyers in this game at home.
