Daily News | Flyers fall flat in rematch against the Seattle Kraken, losing 6-2
SEATTLE — In their road rematch against the Seattle Kraken in the picturesque Pacific Northwest, the Flyers got lost at sea and caught in an unrelenting storm of goals.
When the Kraken went up 4-0 in the second period thanks to a breakaway goal from winger Oliver Bjorkstrand, coach John Tortorella opted to pull goalie Carter Hart and put in backup Samuel Ersson. Hart finished with 15 saves on 19 shots, receiving little help from the defense in front of him. The Kraken were far more prolific, racking up 12 shots in the first period, two of which resulted in goals. Kraken winger Jared McCann scored one shorthanded just three minutes into the game, and center Yanni Gourde tipped another past Hart on a delayed penalty. They had a particularly strong power play when winger Wade Allison was called for tripping, generating five shots on goal.
