Rick Tocchet is a former star power forward with the Philadelphia Flyers. Now head coach of the Flyers, Tocchet is orchestrating a renaissance of this once proud franchise.
On Sunday, the Flyers have a road game against the Seattle Kraken. Following a hot start, Seattle has been fading fast.
As usual, the weakness of the Kraken is goal scoring. Seattle ranks near the bottom for goals scored this year. Additionally worrisome is the Seattle defense and penalty killing.
Philadelphia has been a solid defensive club under Tocchet, but it remains a challenge on offense.
The Flyers are a popular legacy franchise and will draw betting interest and traffic for this game.
