Command Analysis
Toronto Maple Leafs
CanadaCurrent form
Toronto is currently in the fourth position of the Eastern Conference and continues to fight for high places in the standings. The team usually plays in series this season and replaces a successful series of matches with two or three defeats in a row. She recently had a great three-game winning streak and performed well in every match.
So, on their ice, the leafs literally defeated Calgary (6:2), then dealt with Colorado (2:1), but after a difficult guest victory against the Rangers (4:3), they still stumbled in the confrontation with Nashville, and this was quite unexpected, since they were considered formal favorites in that meeting. It is noteworthy that the Leafs even gained a comfortable advantage in the opening game and led 2-0, but they spent the remaining 40 minutes very unsuccessfully and conceded five unanswered goals.
This doesn't happen very often with Craig Berube's squad this year, but such situations make you think about discipline. Let's emphasize that the Leafs are playing slightly better on their home court than away, and have already managed to score 19 wins in regular time.
Disqualifications and injuries
Pacioretty and Hakanpaa will not participate in the upcoming meeting due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends

Philadelphia Flyers
USACurrent form
Philadelphia ended up on the penultimate line of the Eastern Conference, although not so long ago it was fighting to get into the playoff zone and was going through great times. However, she is already ten points behind the top eight, so she will definitely not be able to compete for those places in the near future. In addition, the club is currently in terrible shape and is on a five-game losing streak.
The Flyers lost to Tampa on the road (0:2) and lost to Washington (2:3), after which they imposed a tight fight on Dallas, but lost to it in overtime with a score of 2:3. In the final confrontation with Chicago, many preferred the pilots, but they did not meet expectations and failed - 4:7. That game turned out to be a failure for goalkeeper Ivan Fedotov, who missed seven shots in just 29 shots.
Recently, in general, John Tortorella's squad often had problems in defense, and therefore there were at least three or four goals in his net. Philadelphia's worst performance remains in the second period, in which it has a 68:94 ratio in goals scored and conceded.
Disqualifications and injuries
Hathaway, Ellis and Ristolainen will not play in the upcoming meeting.
Interesting betting trends
- Philadelphia wins 50.2% of face-offs on average.
- According to statistics, the pilots make 27 shots on target
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 pucks
In three out of five matches between the teams, the first period was inconclusive.
1.87The bet of the 2nd period: the victory of the hosts
In three out of five meetings, the guests were inferior in the second segment.
2.15Tip and bets
In our opinion, Toronto should get two points without any difficulties in this confrontation. The Leafs significantly outperform their counterpart in level and throughout the season show excellent results in the home arena, often achieving success within 60 minutes. Philadelphia is playing pretty mediocre on the road and is currently in poor condition. Based on this, we suggest betting on a clean victory for the hosts.
Prediction - Toronto wins in 1.75
Betting on an individual total
Philadelphia had a rather low performance in previous meetings, if you do not take into account the duel against Chicago. Toronto has conceded no more than twice in the last three out of four matches against the Flyers. If the goalkeeper of the hosts plays at the proper level, then the guests will remain with less than three goals in the asset this time.
We're betting on Philadelphia's individual total of less than 2.5 goals in 1.65
Bet on the total total
Recent matches between the teams have not been particularly spectacular and usually took place with fewer than six goals scored. This time, Toronto will try to win in class and will not force events, as well as allow many dangerous moments at their gates. It is likely that the meeting will be grassroots.
We take a total of less than 5.5 pucks for 2.00
