Philadelphia Flyers vs Seattle Kraken Prediction & Picks - NHL

Prediction published on 12/28/25, 4:03 PM  by Edgar Jibran | Modified on 12/29/25 at 8:27 PM in NHL Picks

The last game in next Sunday night’s NHL schedule will feature the clash between the Philadelphia Flyers and the Seattle Kraken, which will take place at the Climate Pledge Arena at 07:00 pm CST. For the referred Inter-Conference game, both teams are expected to deliver a very entertaining performance due to the positive streaks they were able to secure before Christmas.

Nevertheless, the Philadelphia Flyers are expected to win, as they have been able to show a better offense than the Kraken throughout the season, it being very valuable for them to sit in the fourth spot in the Eastern Conference’s standings with only 36 games played. In this matter, it has been key for them to avoid depending on a single player, so even though Tyson Foerster has been injured, his absence has been fully covered by Owen Tippett, Trevor Zegras, and Travis Konecny.

Meanwhile, the Seattle Kraken has remained the worst offense in the Western Conference with just 89 goals scored this season; however, they were able to find a solid defensive consistency that allowed them to win their last three consecutive games before having some days off. Considering those results, the Kraken are expected to push forward in this home game to reduce the 3-point gap with the playoff mark.
