Thanks to Mike, DMF & MH for stopping by. BOL today.
It's always tough to play a Kraken U as they are a threat to concede 4 or 5 goals on any given night. I don't *think* this will be one of those nights (days), however. PHI isn't a prolific shooting team, ranking 19th in SF over the L25 (5v5/SVA). The Flyers have scored just 10 goals in their L5 and 24 in their L10. Luckily for them, they get a SEA team that's also in a goal scoring rut. The Kraken have scored just 9 goals in their L5 and 23 in their L10. They may find it tough scoring today on this Flyers defense that's allowed just 8 goals in their L5. Over the L25, both teams rank in the bottom half in xGF with SEA at 19th and PHI at 22nd. I'm not in love with this goalie matchup but Grubauer is better than his surface stats suggest and Sandstrom has been fairly decent at home. SEA gave up 6 to the Rangers Friday night. They have not made a habit of giving up a big number in consecutive games this season. When they've conceded 4+ in their previous game, the U is 17-5; 5+ and the U is 12-2; 6+ and the U is 4-0. The U is 11-2 this season when SEA has faced teams from the Metro.
