Eberle was at the front of the net when Cale Fleury’s shot deflected off his stick at hip height and past Vladar to make it 1-0 at 7:16 of the first period. Kraken forward Berkly Catton, making his NHL debut, was credited with an assist for his first NHL point.
Tippett tied it 1-1 at 9:56 on a redirection of Nick Seeler’s shot. It was the third straight game with a goal for Tippett. The play was set up after Daccord misplayed the puck on the boards.
Foerster put the Flyers ahead 2-1 at 13:19 with a power-play goal from the left face-off dot that went past Daccord’s glove. Foerster’s goal marked his 50th career goal, as well as the Flyers first power-play goal on home ice this season.
Konecny made it 3-1 at 4:59 of the second period when he tapped in Egor Zamula’s pass through the crease on the right side.
Foerster’s second goal came when he redirected York’s point shot for a power-play goal to put the Flyers ahead 4-1 at 5:32.
Nyman got the Kraken back within two at 8:33 on the power play. Nyman’s wrist shot from the right face-off circle got past Vlader’s glove thanks to a flurry in the net that left his glove side vulnerable to make it 4-2.
Tippett scored his second from a sharp angle that found its way between the left post and pad of Daccord to bring to make it 5-2 at 15:40.
