Command Analysis
Philadelphia Flyers
USACurrent form
Philadelphia currently occupies the 12th place in the Eastern Conference and has managed to score only 48 points. The team from Pennsylvania failed the second half of December and won only two victories at the end of the calendar year. In this period of the season, Sean Couturier team played four matches on the home court and began with losses to Toronto (2:3) and Dallas (1:4). The Flyers did not give up and confidently beat Anaheim (6:0), and then won a comeback victory over Florida (4:3). The Flyers started their away tour with a misfire in Ohio (2:3, B), but then confidently won against the Islanders in New York (5:3) and were better than New Jersey in Newark (3:1).
Philadelphia has been playing well offensively in January, scoring more than two goals per game in four out of five games. Travis Konecny remains the leader of Philly offense with 54 points (21+33) in the goal+pass system. Another player who is among the league top 100 scorers is Matvey Michkov. The young forward has made 33 scoring actions (14+19) in his first season in the league.
Samuel Ersson returned to action after another injury and was really good in only one game out of five. In the last two games, the Swede has allowed four goals and this season he has a modest 88.93% save percentage. In 24 starts, the goalie has made two shutouts, but he is not infallible, so Ivan Fedotov and Alexei Kolosov will definitely have a chance to prove themselves.
Disqualifications and injuries
Scott Laughton, Ryan Pehling, Ryan Ellis and Nicolas Deslariers will not play in the next match.
Interesting trends for betting
- Philadelphia gets 8.11 penalty minutes
Typically a team is sent off at least four or five times per match.
- Philadelphia has a 77.9% power play neutralization rate.
According to this indicator, the club currently occupies 20th place in the league.
Detroit Red Wings
USACurrent form
Detroit dropped to 14th place in the conference, having 46 points after 46 games. The Wings intend to get into the playoffs this season, but to do so they need to win, which Todd McLellan team does not always succeed. The Red Wings changed their coach after another losing streak and the situation began to change. The Reds won seven in eight starts and were close to the playoff zone, but now the visitors are on the decline. They have lost three out of four games, although the current road trip for the Red Wings began with a victory over Florida (5:2). The Michigan team was unable to show a strong attack in previous games and were routed in Tampa (1:5) and Dallas (1:4). In Texas, they conceded three quick goals and were unable to return to the match.
The visitors have been doing well in attack lately, although they remain one of the lowest scoring teams in the conference and have still scored only 131 goals. In the five previous games, Detroit has scored 16 times, which is a good result. Lucas Raymond has found excellent form and has often distinguished himself in recent games. The Swedish forward has 50 effective actions (19+31) and leads the club scorers.
Cameron Talbot has returned to the ice in the starting lineup since the start of the new year and now has four wins in five games. The veteran is not always reliable in the last line of defense and failed in the match against Tampa, so Alex Lyon was declared for the game against Dallas. The American has not been able to get into shape and this season has reflected only 89.95% of shots, making one shutout in 18 games.
Disqualifications and injuries
Jeff Petrie will not play in Pennsylvania.
Interesting trends for betting
- Detroit is allowing an average of 3.26 goals per game.
Wings have failed to improve their defense in recent matches and have not improved their defensive performance.
- The Red Wings are winning 50.7% of their faceoffs.
Todd McLellan charges began to perform a little better at the point and win the puck for their teammates more often.
Trends
Bet 3rd period: total over 1.5 goals
In six games involving Philadelphia, the third period was productive
1.50Bet 2nd period: Philadelphia will score
The Flyers have scored in the second period in four of their last five games.
1.40Tip and bets
Philadelphia has gained excellent form and intends to return to the top eight in the East. The Flyers played well on the road, and before that they looked very strong at the end of the home series. The Flyers began to make fewer mistakes in defense and score more often themselves. As for Detroit, after a strong stretch, Todd McLellan charges gradually began to slow down. They lost three games out of four, while in the two previous games they scored only two accurate shots in total. This season, the teams have already exchanged victories on their home courts. We think that Sean Couturier team will be stronger than the wings in Pennsylvania. We offer a bet on the victory of the first in regular time.
Our prediction is Philadelphia win at 2.03
Bet on individual total
Philadelphia made good use of its chances in January and only in the away game against Columbus failed to score at least three times. Detroit is a team that does not have a consistently strong defense. The visiting goalies are not very consistent and are unlikely to be able to contain the Flyers, who have gained excellent form. We believe in at least three goals from John Tortorella charges.
Betting Tip - Philadelphia individual total over three goals for 1.80
Bet on total
The last matches with Detroit participation were productive, despite the fact that the wings themselves did not always score too much. Philadelphia has improved a little in defense, but the attacking line of the guests is unlikely to leave Pennsylvania without goals. In two games this season, the teams have scored 15 times. We believe that this time there will be at least six accurate shots.
Betting Tip - total over 5.5 goals for 1.75
