PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Bobby McMann scored a goal in regulation and then added the game-winner in the fifth round of the shootout as the Seattle Kraken beat the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 on Tuesday night.
The loss extended Philadelphia’s franchise record for a winless streak to start a season to eight games (0-5-3).
McMann scored his third goal of the season on the power play in the first period when a loose puck bounced to him in the right circle, and he snapped a shot past Philadelphia goalie Dan Vladar. He later beat Vladar in the shootout after Vladar made several nice stops to keep the Flyers’ hopes alive.
Ville Ottavainen scored his first NHL goal at 8:54 of the second period after the Flyers got caught with tired players on the ice following an icing call on defenseman David Jiricek.
Philipp Grubauer made 24 saves to earn the win for Seattle, which has won three straight road games.
Grubauer got into it with Flyers forward Trevor Zegras on two successive plays in the second period. Zegras slashed Grubauer, and Grubauer responded with a cross-check. After Zegras came out of the box, Grubauer threw a puck at him; Zegras shot it back at him after the whistle, and they got into a skirmish again, and both were penalized.
Zegras beat Grubauer with a third-period goal as the Flyers evened the score with two goals. Grubauer got the better of Zegras, though, stoning him in the shootout.
Christian Dvorak also scored for Philadelphia and Vladar made 29 saves in defeat.

Blackhawks 5, Penguins 3
CHICAGO (AP) -- Teuvo Teravainen and Roman Kantserov scored two goals apiece, and the Chicago Blackhawks topped the Pittsburgh Penguins 5-3 on Tuesday night in Connor Bedard’s first game of the season.
Spencer Knight made 24 saves as Chicago improved to 1-1 on a seven-game homestand. Patrick Kane picked up his 894th career assist, matching Phil Housley for the most by a U.S.-born player in NHL history.
Bedard also had an assist. The captain had surgery on his left shoulder on July 8.
Sidney Crosby scored his first two goals of the season for Pittsburgh in the opener of a four-game trip. Nick Robertson also scored, and Sergei Murashov made 15 stops.
Crosby tied it at 3-all when he swept in a rebound with 10:43 left. It was his 656th career goal, tying Brendan Shanahan for 14th on the NHL list.
But Teravainen scored from a tough angle with 4:18 remaining, and Tyler Bertuzzi closed it out with an empty-netter in the final seconds.
Chicago jumped in front 28 seconds into the game. Pittsburgh turned the puck over behind its net and Anton Frondell fed Teravainen in the low slot for his first goal of the season.
After Crosby tied it for the Penguins, the Blackhawks finished a pretty passing sequence with their second power-play goal of the season. Bedard played the puck into the middle to Kantserov, who beat Murashov with a one-timer with 2:10 left in the first.
Kantserov scored again 10:32 into the second, tipping home a pass from Artyom Levshunov. The 22-year-old rookie scored his first career goal during Saturday night’s 5-2 loss to Carolina.
Pittsburgh closed to 3-2 on Robertson’s fourth goal of the season. A streaking Robertson knocked in a loose puck with 2:09 left in the second.
The Blackhawks played without forward Frank Nazar, who finished his two-game suspension for an illegal check against the New York Islanders on Thursday night.
