The Philadelphia Flyers secured their third consecutive victory by defeating the Seattle Kraken 3-2 at the Wells Fargo Center. Egor Zamula was scratched for the night, with John Tortorella citing a need for him to observe the game due to his performance leveling off. Rasmus Ristolainen and Nicolas Deslauriers were included in the lineup, as the Flyers opted for a 12 forwards and 6 defensemen configuration, moving away from their previous 11 forwards and 7 defensemen setup. Cal Petersen, who started in net for the Flyers and has a 2-1-2 record against the Kraken, continued his commendable performance. The Flyers, now with a record of 27-19-6, faced the Kraken, holding a record of 21-19-10. This victory marks a positive stride in the Flyers' season, showcasing their adaptability and resilience.

John Tortorella on Cal Petersen: "He hasn't played in a long time, but I thought he played well." #Flyers
John Tortorella on Sean Couturier getting an earful: "I respect Coots, but I needed more out of him. He's a pro. It was frustrating for me cause we needed him. He's a huge part to this team to win, he's not allowed to take a night off." #Flyers
John Tortorella on the room: "I like the room. They hold each other accountable. If they are going to grow we can't be holding their hands all the time. I walked through the room the last game and it wasn't a room that just won 4-1." #Flyers
Cal Petersen: "I'm really just taking it day by day, but I understand the opportunity. It's one I've waited for a long time. I'm still going to have the day to day mentality, but it's an opportunity I don't want it to go to waste." #Flyers
Cal Petersen: "The guys made it easy for me, not a lot of odd man rushes. Just made the saves I needed to make." #Flyers

"I haven't spoken one word to them about the game, haven't shown them one clip of the game. We trust them. We know how they felt about it even during the game." - John Tortorella on Flyers not being thrilled with last two periods against Jets, moving past it
Flyers have a big advantage tonight in that the Kraken haven't played since Jan. 30, and also had to fly across the country. The first game going West to East is always really difficult under normal circumstances, let alone when you might be rusty
