Flyers vs Kraken Prediction 3/8/25 NHL Picks Today

In this article, we will formulate a Flyers vs Kraken Prediction for this NHL game on Saturday, March 8th  at the Wells Fargo Center. Let’s take a look at a Philadelphia Flyers vs Seattle Kraken pick.

Kraken Suddenly Struggling

The Kraken are suddenly struggling right now and they have lost two games in a row. Two games ago against the Minnesota Wild, they lost 4-3, and in the last game against the Nashville Predators, they lost 5-3. The defense gave up three goals in the second period, and that was the downfall. Joey Daccord was in goal and saved 29 of the 33 shots that he faced. The goaltending wasn’t great, and a couple of shots he wishes he could have had back found their way into the back of the net. 

Seattle has been scoring an average of 9.4 goals per game, putting them 16th overall in the NHL. Their defense has allowed an average of 3.2 goals per game, ranking them 24th. They are only getting off an average of 27 shots per game, ranking them 29th. Joey Daccord could get the start for the Kraken, and they need a big game from him. He has a 21-17-3 record and is giving up 2.64 goals per game. The Kraken has lost his two starts. 

Why the Kraken Will Beat the Flyers

• The Kraken have won four of their last five games as underdogs against opponents on a losing streak.
• The Flyers have lost four of their last five day games at Wells Fargo Center against opponents on a losing streak.
• The Kraken have covered the puck line in each of their last five games as underdogs against opponents on a losing streak.
• The Flyers have failed to cover the puck line in 11 of their last 12 home games following a home loss.
• The Flyers have lost the third period in each of their last four games at Wells Fargo Center when tied after the second period.

Flyers Were Sellers

The Flyers were sellers at the trade deadline, and now, at this point, it’s all about getting the young guys ready for next season. In the last game, the Flyers faced off against the Winnipeg Jets, and they lost 4-1. Samuel Errson was in goal, and he wasn’t good, saving 23 off the 27 shots. He has faced extra pressure all season, though, knowing that the Flyers usually aren’t going to be giving off a lot of run support. Travis Konecny is the top player, scoring 22 goals and adding 41 assists. 

Philadelphia has scored 2.86 goals per game, ranking them 18th in the NHL. Opponents have averaged 3.3 goals scored against them, putting their defense in 27th position. They have allowed more goals per shot than any other team in the league, with a 12.3 opponent shooting percentage. Samuel Ersson could get the start for the Flyers. He sits with an 18-11-4 record overall and is giving up 2.94 goals per game. The Flyers have lost his last three starts. After this game, the Flyers will meet the Devils and Senators. 

Flyers vs Kraken Prediction 

I am going to take the value with the underdog here. Remember Philadelphia was a seller at the trade deadline, and you want me to lay this type of number with them? Just based on pure principle there is value, but we will take it a step further. The Flyers offense is averaging only 2.86 goals per game, and they are going to struggle to get quality scoring chances. It might not be the prettiest game, but the Kraken will find a way to get on top. I am betting this one small, but the Kraken is the play.
