Matty Beniers had a goal and an assist and goaltender Philipp Grubauer made 23 saves for his first victory since Dec. 30 as the Seattle Kraken defeated the host Philadelphia Flyers 4-1 Saturday afternoon.

At the buzzer, Olle Lycksell was called for a holding penalty on Burakovsky. The Kraken took a full two minute power play into the second period. First period shots on goal favored the Flyers, 11-7. Samuel Ersson stopped all seven pucks that came his way.

Tippett opened the scoring in the first when he drove wide around Ryker Evans, cut hard and scored on the forehand. It was his 19th goal of the season (36 points; 148 shots). One more, and Tippett will have his third straight 20-goal season.

It isn’t expected to be pretty down the stretch. After trading away three roster players, Andrei Kuzmeko, Scott Laughton, and Erik Johnson, the Flyers lineup on Saturday looked quite different than just a few days ago.
