The Kraken have been competitive in the early going of their expansion season. All three games have been on the road, and they have won once in Nashville while losing in overtime at Columbus Saturday. All three games have been decided by one goal, too.

Kraken at Flyers projected goalies
Philipp Grubauer (1-1-1, 2.99 GAA, .894 SV%) vs. Carter Hart (0-0-1, 3.78 GAA, .897 SV%)
Grubauer, the Vezina Trophy finalist last season, has been a busy beaver for the Kraken early on. He allowed four goals in the opening-game loss, but he has yielded just five goals on 55 shots across the past two outings, going 1-0-1.
Hart allowed four goals on 39 shots, and he was bested in the shootout Friday in his initial start of the season against the Canucks. However, he picked up the pace, holding Vancouver scoreless in the final 27:53.
Kraken at Flyers odds, lines, picks and predictions
Prediction
Kraken 4, Flyers 3
Money line
The KRAKEN (+120) are worth a look in this fourth game of the road trip to start the season. Head coach Dave Hakstol makes his first return to Philadelphia after getting canned by the Flyers (-145) back in 2018, and he'll have his Seattle team playing hard in a game that's important to him.
Against the spread
The Kraken +1.5 (-210) is just too expensive if you are looking for insurance as they'll cost you more than two times your potential return.
AVOID, and just play Seattle straight up on the money line.
Over/Under
OVER 6.5 (+110) is worth a small-unit play. The sample size is rather small, but the Over is 2-1 in Seattle's first three games as the Kraken have averaged 3.0 goals per game while allowing 2.67 goals per game. The Flyers have just the one game, and they're well rested after seeing a total of nine goals on the board in their initial offering.
