Command Analysis
Tampa Bay Lightning
USACurrent form
Tampa Bay has completed its away series, which did not start in the best way. In the first match, the team faced an opponent of its own level in the person of Carolina and was unable to realize its attacking potential. The defensive line also performed poorly, which collectively led to a 1-0 defeat.:4. Goalkeeper Vasilevsky did not cope with his main task, reflecting only 87% of shots. Next, the lightning traveled to Philadelphia, where they were one step away from success. It came all the way to the shootout, where, as a result, I had to concede (3:4).
The Lightning were able to rehabilitate themselves in front of the fans and regain their lost points in a duel with Boston, in which they were able to take advantage of the opponent's weak form and left him no chance, defeating with a score of 6:2. It is difficult even to single out any of the players, since almost all distinguished themselves with effective actions. Due to its slight decline, the Lightning had to drop to fifth place in the Eastern Conference table.

Philadelphia Flyers
USACurrent form
Philadelphia ended its long-running home streak. It is worth noting that the home walls did not particularly help the team achieve success, and in almost all matches they had to suffer defeats, and with a difference of more than one goal. The Flyers scored their only victory over Tampa Bay, and then with great difficulty, snatching it in a shootout (4:3). It was possible to achieve success only due to the efforts of the attacking line, and the most productive player was striker Brink, who scored a double and also gave an assist.
What is especially noteworthy is that the hooligans could not even impose a decent fight on rivals of their level, losing to Calgary (3:6) and Seattle (1:4). The main reason for defeats remains a very weak defensive game, and it is not possible to compensate for this disadvantage due to the attacking line. Due to the huge number of points lost, the club occupies the penultimate place in the Eastern Conference table, with only 64 points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ellis and Ristolainen will definitely not be able to participate in the upcoming match. Hathaway also remains in question.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Philadelphia concedes 3.4 goals per match.
- The Flyers completed only 14% of the majority attempts.
