Kraken vs Flyers Prediction 

Seattle comes into this matchup looking for their fourth win in a row and they are playing some of their best hockey of the season. The Kraken are 7-7-3 at home this year, while the Flyers are 8-5-3 on the road. Philadelphia has won two in a row and they have allowed two goals or fewer in both of those wins. Seattle is one of the lowest scoring teams in the NHL and with both teams playing strong defense in recent games, I think we are going to see a lower scoring game. Take the under here.
