Jared McCann tied the game at 2-2 with the first of Seattle’s four second-period goals.

Cam York and Jamie Drysdale scored to pull Philadelphia within 5-4 in the third period, but Oliver Bjorkstrand responded with a goal to push Seattle’s lead to two with just over five minutes left in the game.

Scott Laughton scored twice for the Flyers in the first period, while Brandon Montour scored one in for the Kraken.

Chandler Stephenson had an assist in his 500th NHL game. Seattle's Philipp Grubauer had 21 saves.

Takeaways Flyers: Laughton is off to a good start, with two goals and three points through four games. Laughton didn’t score his second goal last season until his 24th game.

Kraken: The win was the first home victory for head coach Dan Bylsma. The Kraken dropped their home opener to St. Louis on Oct. 8, 3-2.

Key moment After York and Drysdale scored, Seattle’s one-time three goal lead looked like it might be in danger. But Bjorkstrand’s breakaway goal at 14:51 extended the Kraken lead to two goals and allowed the crowd to breathe a bit easier in the final minutes.

Key stat The Kraken finished the game with 12 assists, with Andre Burakovsky and Jared McCann contributing two apiece. McCann had a three-point night, his first of the season.

Up next The Flyers play at home against Vancouver on Saturday night, while the Kraken play host to the Calgary Flames the same night.
