Will Kraken make it 5 straight overtimes against Flyers?
The Seattle Kraken have made a habit of going the distance. Each of their last four games has gone past regulation, and they’ll try to avoid a fifth straight overtime when they visit the Philadelphia Flyers at Xfinity Mobile Arena on Monday night.
Seattle’s road trip has tested their endurance. The Kraken lost in extra time to Montreal and Ottawa before edging Toronto 4-3, with Josh Mahura scoring the winner. Head coach Lane Lambert said his group “expects to be in tight hockey games” and must stay comfortable in them.
Philadelphia also played bonus hockey in its last outing. Noah Cates scored the overtime winner in a 2-1 victory over Minnesota, while Dan Vladar stopped 15 shots. Owen Tippett added energy with five shots on goal, and coach Rick Tocchet said he’s been “driving play all over the ice.” The Flyers still seek production from Travis Konecny and Matvei Michkov, who have combined for one goal through five games.
Seattle has dominated this series lately, winning five of the last six meetings and sweeping both matchups last season. You can review their recent form and full NHL previews for more background heading into this matchup.
