A dramatic ending saw the Seattle team continue their fine run of form

The Seattle Kraken emerged victorious against the Philadelphia Flyers 2-1 in a hard-fought match on Friday night.

It came down to the wire and was decided by an overtime goal, scored by Justin Schultz with 2:25 remaining.

“I just kind of waited for the opportunity,” Schultz said. “Bjorky and (Yanni Gourde) did a great job just holding onto the puck, and we found an opportunity. (I was) lucky enough to (have it) go in.”

The Kraken secured their fourth consecutive win, also tying a franchise record for eight straight game.

The Flyers took charge of the game early on with an opening goal from Travis Konecny.

Seattle tied it up on the power play of the third through Vince Dunn, before Schultz gifted them the win.

“Another typical game tonight — a tight one-goal game, a 2-1 game that goes into overtime. We’ve been involved in a lot of those,” Seattle coach Dave Hakstol said.
