Playing the final game of a four-game homestand, John Tortorella's Philadelphia Flyers (22-22-10) are home on Sunday afternoon to take on Dave Hakstol's Seattle Kraken (29-18-5). Game time at the Wells Fargo Center is 1:00 p.m. ET.
The game will be televised on NBCSP. The radio broadcast is on 97.5 The Fanatic with an online simulcast on
Flyers Radio 24/7.
This game, for the Flyers, is the front end of a home-and-home set. The scene will shift to Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle on Thursday to conclude the season between the inter-conference clubs.
Today, the Flyers are playing for the third time in less than an 85-hour span. On Thursday, the Flyers earned a 2-1 shootout win over the visiting Edmonton Oilers. On Saturday afternoon, the Flyers
dropped a 2-1 overtime decision to the Nashville Predators.
In fact, all three games of the homestand to date, starting with Monday's loss to the New York Islanders, have been 2-1 final scores. The Flyers need a win against Seattle to achieve a 2-1-1 homestand. It will be the next-to-last home game of February for the Flyers. Other than a February 24 match at the Wells Fargo Center against Montreal, the Flyers will be on the road until March.
The Kraken are playing the fourth game of a five-game road trip. As with the Flyers, they are playing their fourth game in less than four nights. While this week's schedule works out as a home-and-home for the Flyers, the Kraken will play a road game against the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday before returning home to Seattle to host the Flyers two nights later.
The Kraken are winless on the road trip to date. On Tuesday, they were blanked by the New York Islanders, 4-0. On Thursday, Hakstol's team dropped a 3-1 decision to the New Jersey Devils. On Friday, the New York Rangers doubled up the Kraken, 6-3, at Madison Square Garden.
On Sunday, Felix Sandström will oppose Phillip Grubauer in goal.
