- Matchup: Seattle Kraken at Philadelphia Flyers
- Date: Tuesday, October 13, 2026
- Puck drop: 7:00 p.m. ET (23:00 UTC)

The game remains scheduled with no reported postponement or cancellation, according to the StatMuse matchup page. Both clubs enter with one day of rest, and neither is playing the second half of a back-to-back.
Matchup Breakdown
Seattle enters at 4-2-0 after winning its previous two games. Philadelphia is 0-4-2 and winless through six contests, giving the Kraken the clearer early-season form advantage.
The complication is that Seattle’s underlying play has not been uniformly convincing. Edgehalla’s team data lists the Kraken at approximately 42% of five-on-five shot attempts, ranking 30th, while their expected-goals share is a much more competitive 49.6%. That gap suggests Seattle has spent too much time without the puck even though its chance quality has been closer to even.
Seattle has also produced a reported 22-11 five-on-five scoring advantage. That is encouraging for the immediate matchup, but it may be difficult to maintain if the Kraken continue losing the territorial battle so decisively. Philadelphia’s path to ending its winless start begins with turning sustained possession into enough quality chances to test whichever goalie Seattle starts.
Special teams could be important in a game between clubs with limited separation in the market. Seattle and Philadelphia are each listed with a 25.0% power play and a 72.7% penalty kill. Seattle’s first power-play unit includes Brandon Montour, Kaapo Kakko, Matty Beniers, Shane Wright and Berkly Catton. With both penalty kills operating below the power-play success rates reported in the research, discipline could swing a close game.
Goalies and Injury Watch
Projected Seattle starter: Joey Daccord. This is an Edgehalla projection and had not been confirmed at the time of the available research.
Philadelphia starter: Unconfirmed. Joseph Woll made the Flyers’ previous start, but no starter had been announced for this matchup. Bettors should check the official lineup releases because the goalie decisions are a major source of uncertainty.
Seattle’s injury list is relatively short. Jacob Melanson is on injured reserve with an upper-body issue, while Ryan Lindgren is listed as day-to-day with an upper-body injury.
Philadelphia has more potential lineup disruption. Covers lists Travis Konecny, Cam York, Owen Tippett and Noah Cates with injuries, while Rasmus Ristolainen, Nikita Grebenkin and Denver Barkey are on injured reserve. Helge Grans is listed as an injured non-roster player. Those designations do not confirm who will dress, so game-day updates are important, particularly for Konecny and Tippett.
Odds and Betting Considerations
Odds checked October 12, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. UTC through AgentBets showed Seattle at +107 at Caesars and Philadelphia at -120 at LowVig.ag. DraftKings offered Kraken +1.5 at -225.
The total was 5.5 goals, with FanDuel pricing the over at -120 and DraftKings offering the under at +110. Prices can move after goalie and lineup announcements.
The moneyline presents an unusual contrast: Philadelphia is favored at home despite its 0-4-2 start. Home ice and Seattle’s weak possession numbers help explain that price, but laying money with a winless team is difficult to justify without confirmed goaltending and greater clarity around Philadelphia’s injured players.
Seattle +1.5 provides protection in a close game, but -225 is a substantial price. The total is also difficult to isolate because the unconfirmed goalies and vulnerable penalty kills point toward volatility in either direction.
Prediction
Prediction: Seattle Kraken to win a close game.
Seattle’s 4-2-0 record, two-game winning streak and reported five-on-five scoring advantage provide enough support for a narrow road pick. Philadelphia’s winless opening and longer injury list make the Kraken more appealing at an underdog price than the Flyers as a short favorite.
The main uncertainty is whether Seattle’s results can hold up against its poor five-on-five possession rate. Philadelphia also has home ice, and the absence of confirmed starters prevents a high-confidence position. At the quoted odds, the lean is Seattle moneyline at +107 at Caesars rather than paying heavily for Kraken +1.5. The total is a pass pending goalie confirmations and final lineup news.
