Justin Schultz scored at 2:35 of overtime as the Seattle Kraken rallied to defeat the visiting Philadelphia Flyers 2-1 Friday night.
Fellow defenseman Vince Dunn scored in regulation and Oliver Bjorkstrand had two assists for Seattle, which won its fourth in a row and extended its point streak to eight games (6-0-2). Goaltender Joey Daccord, making his eighth start in nine games with Philipp Grubauer out with a lower-body injury, made 27 saves.
Travis Konecny scored a short-handed goal for the Flyers, who, despite the defeat, have earned points in 12 of their past 13 games (8-1-4). Goalie Carter Hart, who played junior hockey in nearby Everett, Wash., stopped 27 of 29 shots.
With the Flyers needing a line change in overtime, Bjorkstrand controlled the puck at the top of the offensive zone. He sent a pass down the right wing for Schultz, who tipped the puck between Hart's pads for the winner.
Konecny opened the scoring at 16:21 of the first period. Teammate Scott Laughton forced a turnover in the Philadelphia zone and then took a pass from Travis Sanheim to start a two-on-one rush with Konecny. Dunn got a stick on Laughton's pass across the top of Seattle's crease, but Konecny was able to recover the puck just below the goal line and reach back to stuff the puck just inside the left post as Daccord was prone on the ice.
The Kraken tied the score on the power play at 5:45 of the third. Alex Wennberg won a faceoff in the offensive zone and Bjorkstrand shoveled the puck back to Dunn at the left point. Dunn's slap shot beat a screened Hart to make it 1-1.
The Flyers dropped to 1-0-1 on their four-game Western swing, which concludes with games Sunday at Calgary and Tuesday at Edmonton.
The Kraken, meanwhile, are set to play host to Vegas on Monday in the NHL's Winter Classic at T-Mobile Park.
Kraken forward Andre Burakovsky returned after missing 29 of the previous 30 games with a pair of lower-body injuries. It was his first game since Dec. 7 and his second since Oct. 21. Burakovsky played on Seattle's second line with Jared McCann and Wennberg.
The Flyers' John Tortorella coached his 1,500th NHL game. Tortorella moved into sole possession of 10th place on the league's career victories list Thursday with No. 723 in a 4-1 decision at Vancouver.
