The Seattle Kraken and Philadelphia Flyers are buzzing with confidence as they return to action after the holiday break. Seattle swept their California trip, ending a 1-9-1 slump, while the Flyers posted two consecutive wins to enter the break. Kraken goaltender Joey Daccord praised the team's 'collective effort' in recent games, crediting a strong team effort for their success. 'That's how we win,' Daccord said. 'We're a team that needs everyone going every night, from the net out.' The Kraken's three-game winning streak has propelled them from the cellar to within three points of a wild-card playoff spot in the tightly packed Western Conference. They'll face the Flyers on Sunday in Seattle, who have also been on a roll, posting back-to-back victories before the break. Flyers coach Rick Tocchet said his team's maturity was on display in their recent wins, emphasizing the importance of playing smart hockey. 'It's 82 games - you're not going to feel great some nights,' Tocchet said. 'It's the schedule. Everybody goes through it.' The two teams will meet for the second and final time this season, with the Flyers seeking to maintain their momentum and the Kraken looking to continue their winning ways.
