Seattle Kraken vs Philadelphia Flyers Predictions

Philadelphia's absences make -122 difficult to justify

Seattle visits Philadelphia at 7:00 p.m. ET with a 4-2-0 record, while the Flyers enter at 0-5-2. That gap makes the Kraken worth considering as a +102 underdog rather than paying -122 for Philadelphia.

Fubo News, the streaming service's sports news site, lists Flyers forwards Travis Konecny and Nikita Grebenkin and defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen as out. Defenseman Cam York is listed as day-to-day. Those absences weaken the case for backing a winless favorite.

Seattle is the lean, not a strong play

Seattle has absences of its own. Fubo News lists defenseman Ryan Lindgren and forwards Jake O'Brien and Jacob Melanson as out, so the Kraken's better record doesn't remove the risk.

Joey Daccord is listed to start for Seattle, and Joseph Woll is listed for Philadelphia. With no supporting season statistics or confirmed goalie information beyond that listing, Seattle +102 is a low-confidence lean rather than a large wager.

The total is 5.5, with the over priced at -135 and the under at +114. There isn't enough evidence on either team's scoring or goaltending performance to justify a total bet, so the total is a pass.
