Flyers 6, Kraken 1: Welcome to the show

After a frustrating season opening loss, the Flyers more than made up for it with a dominating performance vs. the league’s newest team in the Seattle Kraken.

First Period

Well, this game certainly didn’t start the way the Flyers would have liked. To their credit, the Kraken came out absolutely firing on Carter Hart and the orange and black. Their forecheck was tenacious and gave most of the Flyers’ blueliners fits, and the forwards really weren’t able to do much with some stifling backcheck facing them.

As the period progressed however, the Flyers slowly began to find their footing and in large part due to the sensational work of Hart.
