Yanni Gourde had two goals and an assist and the Seattle Kraken blew away the visiting Flyers 6-2.
Five Seattle players scored for the Kraken, who outshot Philadelphia 30-19, including 12-1 in the first period.
Travis Konecny scored twice and Noah Cates had two assists for Philadelphia, which has dropped three straight.
“They were just playing better in all areas,” said Konecny, who had 26 goals.
“They just wanted it more. They’re a fast team and we knew that coming in and we just let them do their thing.”
Ivan Provorov also had an assist. Carter Hart (15 saves) allowed four goals on 19 shots before giving way to Samuel Ersson (nine saves) in the second period.
“I am not going to talk about my hockey team after a performance like this,” Flyers coach John Tortorella said. “It doesn’t do me any good. It doesn’t do the team any good. Those are the people I’m most concerned about.”
