Can Flyers Soar Against Kraken at Wells Fargo Center?

As the Philadelphia Flyers prepare to host the Seattle Kraken at the Wells Fargo Center, fans are eager to see if their team can capitalize on home-ice advantage and continue their recent trend of high-scoring games. The matchup, scheduled for February 11th, promises an exciting clash as both teams vie for victory.

Analyzing past performances, the Flyers have shown a mixed bag of results. In their last game against the Detroit Red Wings, they displayed a strong offensive front with six goals on 43 shots but ultimately fell short in a shootout after tying in regulation and overtime. Despite this setback, they demonstrated resilience by maintaining an even strength throughout and securing a shooting percentage of 14 percent.


In contrast, during their encounter with the Nashville Predators at home, the Flyers were less fortunate. Scoring only two goals from 31 shots reflected a lower shooting percentage of six percent. However, they did manage to convert one powerplay opportunity into a goal.

The most promising display came from their away game against the New Jersey Devils where they secured an overtime win with three goals from just 26 shots – showcasing efficiency with a shooting percentage of 12 percent.


Defensively speaking, goaltending has been solid for Philadelphia; save percentages have consistently been high across these games despite varying shot challenges faced by netminders.

As we look towards this upcoming game against Seattle Kraken – who also bring their own set of strengths and strategies – it will be crucial for Philadelphia to leverage its offensive capabilities while tightening up any defensive lapses that could be exploited by their opponents.


Flyers fans can catch all the action live on ESPN+ or Hulu as these two teams battle it out on February 11th at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. Will home ice prove advantageous once more? Only time will tell as we anticipate another thrilling NHL showdown.
