PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Owen Tippett scored twice and the Philadelphia Flyers beat the Seattle Kraken 5-2 on Monday night.
Travis Konecny, Tyson Foerster and Noah Cates also scored, Cam York had three assists and Sean Couturier added two as Philadelphia won for the third time in four games. Dan Vladar finished with 21 saves.
Jordan Eberle and Jani Nyman scored for Seattle, which snapped a season-opening five-game point streak (3-0-2). Joey Daccord gave up all five goals on 21 shots through two periods, and Philipp Grubaouer had six saves in the third.
Konecny and Cates scored 33 seconds apart early in the second period to push the Flyers' lead to 4-1.
Konecny redirected a pass from Egor Zamula at the right doorstep for his first of the season at 4:59, Cates then got his third of the season at 5:32 on a power play, tipping York's point shot past Daccord for the three-goal lead.
Nyman pulled the Kraken within two with a power-play goal at 8:33, but Tippett's second of the game and fifth of the season with 4:20 left in the middle period made it 5-2.
Eberle got the Kraken on the scoreboard 7:16 into the game, deflecting a shot by Cale Fleury past Vladar. Berkly Catton also had an assist on the play for his first point in his NHL debut.
The Flyers then took the lead with two goals 3:23 apart in the middle of the first period.
Tippett tied it at 9:56, scoring for the third straight game. Sean Couturier took the puck away from Daccord behind the goal line, and passed to Nick Seeler on the left side and he mis-hit his attempt and the puck was redirected by Tippett.
Foerster put Philadelphia ahead with a power-play goal with 6:41 left in the first as he beat Daccord from the left circle.
