Preview: Flyers look to tame Kraken in first-ever matchup

It’s been three years since the Flyers hosted an expansion team, but that’ll change when the Seattle Kraken visit the Wells Fargo Center tonight.

Seattle comes in as the NHL’s 32nd franchise, and one looking for the same success the Vegas Golden Knights found in a 3-2 win in their first-ever trip to Philadelphia back in March of 2018.

When: 7:00 PM EST

Where: Wells Fargo Center

TV: NBCSP, ESPN+ (subject to local blackout)

Much has changed since 2018, though a familiar face remains in the equation as Kraken head coach Dave Hakstol was the Flyers bench boss for that matchup with the Golden Knights.
