Kraken beat Flyers 3-2 in shootout as Philadelphia’s winless start reaches 8 games

Philadelphia's winless start to the season reached eight games, as the Seattle Kraken defeated the Flyers 3-2 in a shootout on Tuesday night. Bobby McMann scored the go-ahead goal in regulation and then added the game-winner in the fifth round of the shootout. McMann had already scored a third goal of the season in the first period on a power play.

Ville Ottavainen scored his first NHL goal for Philadelphia at 8:54 of the second period, coming after the Flyers had players on the ice following an icing call. Philipp Grubauer made 24 saves to earn the victory for Seattle, who have won three straight road games. Grubauer was involved in a physical altercation with Flyers forward Trevor Zegras in the second period, resulting in penalties for both players.

Zegras scored a goal for Philadelphia in the third period, tying the game. Vladar made 29 saves for the Flyers, but Seattle's Grubauer was the star in the shootout, stopping all three of Vladar's attempts. The Kraken continue their five-game road trip on Thursday against Tampa Bay.
