Philadelphia - Seattle: NHL match betting tip
Philadelphia's home series will continue on March 8 with a game against Seattle. The Flyers failed to score a single point in the first two games and played rather poorly defensively. The Kraken were defeated in Tennessee and now intend to take the scoring points in Pennsylvania. At the very beginning of the season, the monsters beat the pilots in a shootout on their ice. Will it happen again? Look for the answer in the betting tip for the meeting

Command Analysis

Philadelphia Flyers

Current form
Philadelphia occupies the 14th place in the conference table and is gradually moving away from the top eight. The Penn State team scored only 62 points in 63 games and is five points behind Ottawa in eighth position. The hosts started well after the break, but now they have only one victory in four matches. The Flyers scored important points on the road in the matches against Pittsburgh (4:5, OT) and Winnipeg (2:1, B), but after returning home they lost soundly to Calgary (3:6) and the same Jets (1:4). The team led by John Tortorella conceded two goals in the first two periods and was unable to return to the game fully.
Fila scored 15 goals in the last five games, but it helped the Pilots win only twice. This season, the Americans are playing a little better offensively on their ice, but they lack stability. The offensive leader remains Travis Konecny, who has scored only two points in the past six games. Throughout the regular season, the Canadian scored 63 goals (22+41).
Samuel Ersson failed again at the last line of defense and was one of the reasons for the defeat of the hosts in the last two matches. Philadelphia's number one deflected only 88.97% of shots on his own goal and risks giving Ivan Fedotov and Alexey Kolosov a chance again. The Russian has looked pretty good in recent games and can take to the ice as early as Saturday.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ryan Ellis and Garnet Hathaway will not play in the next match.
Interesting betting trends
- Philadelphia allows you to shoot 27 times at your own goal
The owners meet their opponents well and do not allow them to attack their possessions often.
- Flyers opponents block 18 shots per match
The team's shots often miss their target and are blocked.

Seattle Kraken

Current form
Seattle is in 13th position in the West and cannot get close to the group that is fighting for entry into the playoffs. Dan Bailsma's men scored 56 points in 63 starts and were already 12 points behind eighth-place Calgary, which also played one less match. The guests have been looking very weak since the end of January and lost four out of five meetings. In early spring, the Kraken beat Vancouver at home (6:3), but after getting a couple of days off, they could not break the resistance of Minnesota (3:4). The current guest tour began with a crushing defeat in Tennessee against Nashville (3:5). Now the Predators are even closer to the positions of the Washington State club.
The Monsters have been playing pretty well offensively in recent games and scored 12 goals in the previous three matches. This season, they have scored almost three goals per game and feel a little better on the road. Jared McCann is the only player on the team who is among the top 100 scorers in the league. The Canadian scored 45 points (16+29) in the goal+pass system.
Kraken lose a lot due to poor play on their side of the ice. In the last five games alone, the red light outside the Seattle goal has been turned on 23 times. Joey Duckford remains the guests' uncontested number one. The American goalkeeper deflected 91.14% of attacks on his lines and made only one shutout in 43 matches this season.
Disqualifications and injuries
All the guest leaders will arrive in Pennsylvania this Saturday.
Interesting betting trends
- Seattle won only 48.9% of the face-offs.
Kraken don't play their best on the spot and often lose the puck to their opponents.
- The visitors make 27 shots on target per match
Jordan Eberle's squad doesn't bother the opposing goalkeepers too often.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total more than 1.5 pucks
In the last four matches with Kraken, the first period was productive.
1.75Bet 2nd period: Philadelphia will score
The Flyers have scored in the second period in seven of their last nine games.
1.42Tip and bets
Philadelphia completely failed the start of the home series, but this does not mean that John Tortorella's team is ready to lose further. The Flyers have a good offensive line and are pretty good up front in Penn State. Seattle is very bad defensively and has conceded in recent games in huge numbers. Last fall, the Kraken were able to beat their opponent in Washington State, but now we expect the opposite result. We believe that with the support of our native stands, the pilots will be stronger. We offer a bet on winning the first one with a zero handicap.
Our prediction is that Philadelphia will win with an Asian handicap (0) in 1.70
Betting on an individual total
Philadelphia lacks stability in attack, but now the hosts simply have to score a lot. Seattle plays terrible defense and doesn't have a strong goalkeeper. In the last five matches alone, the Kraken have conceded 23 goals, which is more than four goals on average per game. In our opinion, it won't be a big problem for the pilots to score at least three or four goals.
Betting Tip - Philadelphia's individual total is more than three goals in 1.93
Bet on the total
Seattle is playing extremely well at this stage of the season. Dan Bailsma's players often forget about defense, and they have to pay a high price for it. The guests play well offensively, and the meeting between these teams in Washington State turned out to be very bright. We think that neither side will be careful and at least six goals will be scored in the match.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.75
