Command Analysis
Philadelphia Flyers
USACurrent form
Philadelphia is in 13th position in the conference table and is gradually approaching the top eight in the East. The team from Pennsylvania failed the first month of the new year, but finished the winter well. The Flyers scored 62 points in 61 meetings and, after five consecutive defeats, won four victories in five starts. Before returning home, John Tortorella's team lost in Pittsburgh (4:5, OT), but started the new month with an important victory in Winnipeg (2:1, B). They bounced back during the match against the Jets and were no worse than their opponent. In the shootout, the winning goal was scored by Russian Matvey Michkov, who became one of the team's leaders in his first season.
Philadelphia began to step up in attack after a weak stretch. Travis Konecny remains the Philae offensive leader with 63 points (22+41) in the goal+pass system. Matvey Michkov returned to the top 100 scorers in the league due to the club's strong results. The young forward made 44 assists (17+22) in his first season in the league and scored eight points in the last four games.
Samuel Ersson returned to the last line of Philadelphia's defense after a pause. The goalkeeper blocked 89.38% of shots and made two shutouts in 34 starts. Ivan Fedotov remains the second goalkeeper, but with his performance, it is hard to believe that the Russian will be able to capture the role of the first number in the team. At the same time, he was very good in the match against Winnipeg and made a big contribution to the success.

Calgary Flames
CanadaCurrent form
Calgary is in ninth position in the Western Conference table and cannot beat Vancouver in any way. The Flames have the same number of points and now both teams have scored 65 points after 60 starts. Competitors in the face of Utah and St. Louis are very close and are about to join the fight for the eighth place in the table. Ryan Husky's team completely failed at the end of the winter and lost six out of eight matches. They returned after the break and scored two wins, starting the away series with a 3-1 success in the U.S. capital. Then Mikael Backlund's squad lost in Tampa (0:3), Sunrise (0:3) and Raleigh (1:2, OT), scoring only one accurate shot in regular time.
The Canadians have big problems creating chances offensively and risk becoming the least-scoring team in the West. They scored only seven goals in the last five games, while they scored only one goal in the last three starts. Jonathan Huberdeau (22+22) and Nazem Kadri (21+23) scored 44 points each this season and so far remain the main reliable guests in the attack.
Dustin Wolf was very good again against the Hurricanes, but it didn't help Calgary win in Raleigh. On average this season, he is handling 91.33% of attacks on his possessions and has made two shutouts in 36 meetings. Daniel Vladar remains number two and is unlikely to be able to oust the American from the base. The Czech goalkeeper scored only 89.38% of deflected shots.
Disqualifications and injuries
Justin Kirkland and Anthony Manta will not be able to help their team in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- Calgary gets 10.1 minutes of penalty time
The lights are removed at least five times per match on average.
- The Flames have 58:69 on goals scored and conceded in the third period.
Calgary concedes more in the third period than in the rest of the segments.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 pucks
In the last six out of nine games with the Flyers, the first period was not productive.
1.87Bet 2nd period: Philadelphia will score
The Flyers have scored in the second period in the last seven games.
1.45Tip and bets
Philadelphia has made a great move and has been showing strong results since the beginning of February. John Tortorella's team has been scoring points for five consecutive games and has improved in all components before the start of spring. The Flyers still have a lot to win if they want to compete for the playoffs. As for the guests, they look weak in the current away series, although they started it with an unexpected victory in the US capital. The lights score very little outside of home ice, so they're unlikely to score points in Penn State. We believe that Sean Couturier's squad will be stronger. We offer a bet on winning first with a handicap of zero.
Our prediction is that Philadelphia will win with an Asian handicap (0) in 1.65
Betting on an individual total
Calgary plays very poorly in attack on the road and on average scores only 2.24 goals per game away. Philadelphia has improved in terms of reliability and has conceded only six times in total in the last three matches on its ice. The Lights scored one accurate hit in the last three meetings in the current guest series. We don't think they will be able to throw a lot at the home team's goal.
Betting Tip - Calgary's individual total is less than 2.5 goals in 1.82
Bet on the total
Calgary is not playing effectively this season and is trying to win only thanks to reliable actions on its side of the ice. Philadelphia has improved its defensive play and doesn't miss as much as it did in the first part of the regular season. In the autumn, the teams played a lively match, in which nine goals were scored. We believe that the meeting in Pennsylvania will be the opposite.
Betting Tip - total less than 5.5 goals in 1.90
