Philadelphia Flyers vs. Seattle Kraken

February 10, 2024



The Seattle Kraken (21-19-10) will battle with the Philadelphia Flyers (27-19-6) for the second time this season on Saturday, February 10, at 7:00 PM ET at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Flyers are slight favorites at home for this showdown, currently set with a moneyline at -120.

Seattle Kraken Betting Preview

The Kraken are 2-3 in their last five games and need to get back on track. In their most recent battle, they fell short 2-0 against the San Jose Sharks, which is not an appealing loss against one of the worst teams in the league.

Jared McCann will need to do a good job scoring if they want a chance at success. Despite leading the team in goals with 20, he ranks tied for 37th in the league for that effort.

The Kraken maintain an average of 2.78 goals and 29.1 shots per game, boasting a 21.7 power play percentage with 30 goals scored and 29 conceded. To outmaneuver the Flyers, they should strategically make the most of power play chances.

On the defensive end, they allow an average of 2.86 goals and face 29.5 shot attempts per game, creating a slightly less favorable ratio compared to their offensive performance. Despite this, their robust penalty kill percentage of 78.7 is slightly lower than the Flyers' per-game performance.

Philadelphia Flyers Betting Preview

The Flyers might be 2-3 in their last five games, but they have some positive momentum on their side with a current two-game win streak under their belt. Their most recent success was a 4-1 showing against the Winnipeg Jets.

Travis Konecny is pivotal in their chances at success here, as he has landed 45 points and 24 goals. They also have great support from Joel Farabee, who has put up 24 assists and can make an impact in this game.

The Flyers average 2.87 goals and 33.3 shots per game, emphasizing the need for an early aggressive approach for a winning chance. On power plays, they've scored 21 goals and allowed 23, with a power play percentage of 12.9, a potential disadvantage.

Defensively, they allow 2.85 goals and face 28.1 shots per game, leaving little margin for error. Their penalty kill percentage is 85.7, slightly higher than the Kraken's, possibly influencing the upcoming game in their favor.
