Command Analysis

Philadelphia Flyers

Current form
Philadelphia remains one of the outsiders of the Eastern Conference and is located on the 14th line of the standings. The team is quite capable of improving its position, but for this it needs to get on a winning streak. Of course, with the results she has shown recently, it will simply be impossible to claim to be closer to the playoff zone.
So, the pilots faced a series of five defeats, while not earning a single point. Fortunately, after unsuccessful matches against Seattle (1:4), New Jersey (1:3) and Ottawa (2:5), they nevertheless pulled themselves together and, with the support of the home stands, dealt with Tampa with a score of 4:3 in shootouts. It is noteworthy that in all the fights the Flyers had serious difficulties in defense, which is why they conceded at least three or four goals. Such problems, of course, accompany them throughout the season, but they often get in the way at key moments.
But John Tortorella's team has more or less adjusted its game in the minority and currently has 77.9% neutralization of excess, ranking 17th in the league by this indicator.
Disqualifications and injuries
Hathaway, Ellis and Ristolainen will not participate in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- Philadelphia gets 7.34 minutes of penalty time per match
- The pilots make an average of 27 shots on target.

Carolina Hurricanes

Current form
Carolina clearly claims the second place in the Eastern Conference and can get to it in the near future, as it is literally one point behind Florida. It should be noted that the team performed very poorly last month and lost a lot of points, but recently it has been able to find its game, which bore fruit earlier, and began to win match after match.
We emphasize that the Hurricanes defeated Detroit (2:1) on the road, after which they beat Boston (3:2), Winnipeg (4:2) and Tampa (4:1) in turn on their ice, and in the final meeting they again proved their superiority over the Red Wings with a score of 4:2. In all cases, the team of the Brindamore Clan was distinguished by an extremely reliable defensive game and managed with a minimum number of missed goals. It is impossible not to mention the actions of the goalkeeper, Frederik Andersen, who even parried 24 shots in the last match.
However, if Karolina performs just fine on her own ice, then on other people's courts she very often loses in the main time and has already been without points 15 times. At the same time, she has performance problems, which is why she is often unable to score more than two goals.
Disqualifications and injuries
Svechnikov, Carrie, Orlov and Fast will not be able to help their team in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- Carolina gets an average of 6.8 minutes of penalty time per match.
- According to statistics, the Hurricanes make 32 shots on target.

2.35Tip and bets
We think that Carolina should earn two points in this matchup. The Hurricanes, of course, are an exclusively home team this season, but they should beat opponents like Philadelphia without much difficulty, even on the road. Moreover, the clubs had already met in Pennsylvania a few months ago, and then the Hurricanes proved their superiority with a score of 4:1. Most likely, this time Brindamore's squad will be able to deal with the opponent with a difference of several goals.
Prediction - Carolina's victory in 2.00
Betting on an individual total
In previous meetings, Carolina was distinguished by a reliable defensive game and managed with a minimum number of missed goals. In addition, Frederik Andersen played great on goal, who even blocked 24 shots in the last match. Philadelphia, in turn, showed a mediocre offensive game and could not score three times in four out of five matches. Based on this, we suggest betting on the individual total of the owners.
We take Philadelphia's individual total of less than 2.5 goals for 1.80
Bet on the total total
Carolina has very skilled forwards, but with Rod Brindamore, discipline comes first, so a lot of matches involving the Hurricanes turn out to be pretty grassroots. By the way, Philadelphia itself has spent the last three out of five meetings with a total of less. We think that you shouldn't expect a lot of goals in matches of such clubs either.
We take a total of less than 5.5 pucks for 2.00
