Zegras mixes it up, winless Flyers drop eighth straight with shootout loss

The Philadelphia Flyers fell to an eighth consecutive loss Tuesday night, bowing out in a 3–2 shootout defeat to the Seattle Kraken at Xfinity Mobile Arena. After clawing back from a two-goal deficit in the third period, the Flyers tied the game on goals from Christian Dvorak and Trevor Zegras, but Seattle’s Bobby McMann and Matty Beniers sealed the win in the shootout.

The Flyers’ struggles continued under head coach Rick Tocchet, who now faces a 0–5–3 start to the season, with the team allowing 30 goals in eight games—a stark contrast to last year’s 4–3–1 record at this point. Goaltender Dan Vladar stood out with 28 saves and a key assist, while Zegras had a fiery night, including a heated exchange with Kraken netminder Philipp Grubauer that resulted in penalties for both players after a physical altercation mid-game.
