And just like that, that\'s a wrap on the season series between the Flyers and the Kraken. And after Seattle took the first meeting with an overtime win, the Flyers were able to even the scales, coming away from this one with a pretty commanding win, and a bit more momentum in their back pocket. That\'s one more bit of revenge on Dave Hakstol, folks. The basics First period: 4:36- Scott Laughton (York, Frost) PPG, 17:09- Tomas Tatar (Dunn, Larsson), 18:14- Ryan Poehling (Hathaway, Seeler) SHG Second period: No scoring Third period: 0:35- Jared McCann (Wennberg, Dunn), 5:30- Sean Couturier (Sanheim, Konecny) SOG: 38 (PHI) - 19 (SEA) Some takeaways The power play strikes (but only once) We\'ll begin with the good news: the Flyers got a bit of production from their power play tonight, with a goal from Scott Laughton being the one to get them on the board early (and boy did he ever need that one too), and that is always a welcome sight. With how inconsistent the Flyers have been on the man advantage this season, and considering they were without Egor Zamula tonight, who\'s been something of a magic fixer for the power play of late, it was nice to see them get one on the board. That goal should have been a bit of a boost for the power play units, but it didn\'t end up shaking out that way, and that\'s our negative side that we want to touch on before we move on. The Flyers would be given three more opportunities on the power play this evening, and with that, a real chance to put this one away earlier, but they couldn\'t get much going on those later attempts. They had a couple of looks, but no conversion, so we come away from this one, despite the result, feeling that they left a bit on the table. Cal Petersen shows up Petersen got his first start since his recall before the break tonight, and if we came into this one a little nervous about how he would fare -- he\'s looked pretty shaky at times at the AHL level this year, after all -- he did well to ultimately put those fears aside for us with this performance. It wasn\'t the busiest of showings for him, as he faced just 19 shots across the whole of the night, but Seattle still managed a handful of high quality chances to test him, and in the end, it was just two that got by him. It wasn\'t the flashiest of showings for him, but he was steady, and he did enough to keep things under control, and ultimately secure the win. We\'ll see how things go for him as he gets more games down the stretch, but this was certainly a good start for him. Playing 4D chess One of those chances that got by Petersen almost didn\'t hold at all. There was a challenge and a review for offside on the play leading up to the Tatar goal in the first period, which the Flyers ultimately lost, putting them on the penalty kill. This situation has the chance to be a real back breaker, a real chance for things to spiral badly on the challenging team, but for the Flyers, it only made them stronger. Who would have guessed that a failed challenge would actually ultimately put the Flyers in a better position as it did tonight, as they not only prevented the Kraken from converting, they also managed to put up yet another shorthanded goal, this time care of Ryan Poehling. Maybe the video coaching staff doesn\'t just have play reviewing capabilities, but also a crystal ball. On response The Flyers\' win against the Jets on Thursday was certainly a big one, given the strength of that opponent, but looking at the process of that game, it\'s not one that we came away from feeling great about. You\'re happy about the result, certainly, but you also acknowledge that building up a lead early and then letting off the gas and coasting on a stellar goaltending from Sam Ersson for the final two periods isn\'t a sustainable model for success. It was important, then, for the Flyers to come into this game and, hopefully, put together a more complete effort, and that\'s exactly what they accomplished tonight. The Flyers, plainly, controlled play for just about the whole of this game. The Kraken had a few surges and did threaten at times, to be sure, but things never really felt in danger of going sideways on the Flyers. All told, they came out of this one with a 61.29 percent share of all shot attempts, and 68.85 percent of the Expected Goals, at 5-on-5 and this was a margin that was more or less held even as they got deep into the final frame. In short: this was exactly the type of showing the Flyers needed to deliver to appease their coach, and to get themselves back on track, to correct their process.
