Philadelphia- The Philadelphia Flyers closed out another strong performance at home on Monday night, beating the Seattle Kraken 5–2 at Xfinity Mobile Arena. With the win, the Flyers improved to 3–1 on their current homestand, showing more signs of life and balance as the season unfolds.
This wasn’t just a win - it was a statement.
Foerster Steals the Spotlight
While several players stepped up, it was Tyson Foerster who truly stole the show. The 23-year-old winger was all over the ice, potting two goals and earning “Player of the Game” honors in what was easily one of his best performances of the season so far. His offensive instincts and timing were on full display, and it’s clear the Flyers are seeing real development in his game.
Foerster didn’t just score — he made an impact every shift. Whether it was on the forecheck, stretching the play, or generating high-danger chances, he looked locked in from puck drop.
Tippett Continues to Roll
Not to be outdone, Owen Tippett also lit the lamp twice, continuing his impressive stretch at home. His two-goal effort earned him First Star of the Game honors. Tippett has been a sparkplug for Philadelphia all season, and tonight he reminded everyone why he’s such a key part of this core. Fast, physical, and opportunistic . . . that’s been the Tippett formula lately, and it worked again against Seattle.
Konecny Adds One, Flyers Keep Firing
Travis Konecny chipped in with a goal of his own, continuing his consistent offensive output. The Flyers finished with five goals on 27 shots, a notable uptick from their average of 20.6 shots per game coming into the night. That kind of shot volume and finish rate is exactly what head coach John Tortorella wants to see as the team tries to establish more offensive consistency.
All About the Homestand
This win pushed the Flyers to 3-1 on their four-game homestand, a stretch that’s helped build momentum in what’s shaping up to be a scrappy, hardworking season. If there’s a theme to this Flyers team, it’s balance - they don’t rely on one superstar to carry the load. Instead, they’re getting contributions up and down the lineup, from seasoned vets to rising young talent.
Final Thoughts
Tonight’s 5–2 win over the Kraken wasn’t perfect, but it was efficient, physical, and opportunistic - all hallmarks of a team starting to find its identity. With Tippett and Foerster leading the way, and Konecny continuing to drive play, the Flyers look like a team capable of stringing together strong stretches - especially at home.
Next up? Building on this momentum and taking that same energy on the road.
