Philadelphia Flyers vs Montreal Canadiens Prediction and Betting Tips (28.03.2025)

Command Analysis

Philadelphia Flyers

USA

Current form

Philadelphia has slipped to the penultimate place in the conference and may find itself on the last line in the East in the very near future. The Flyers have scored only 65 points in 73 starts and are only one point ahead of Buffalo, which has played three more games. John Tortorella's men were not bad at the moment, but they hardly win in the spring. Since February 28, the Penn State club has scored only two wins and completely failed the exit, losing all five meetings. Before returning home, Sean Couturier's squad was defeated in Chicago (4-7) and Toronto (2-7).

Fila plays terrible defense and concedes 3.48 goals per game this season. The hosts don't have a strong goalkeeper in the squad. Samuel Ersson plays extremely poorly and reflects only 88.26% of shots on his own goal. Ivan Fedotov looks even worse, having dealt with only 87.70% of attacks on his possessions. In 24 matches, the Russian did not make a single shutout.

Disqualifications and injuries

Ryan Ellis will not be able to help his team in the upcoming match, and Garnet Hathaway has not yet confirmed his condition.

Interesting betting trends

Philadelphia gets 7.23 minutes of penalty time per match

Montreal Canadiens

Canada

Current form

Montreal has been at the bottom of the East table for a long time, but it has gradually improved and joined the fight for entry into the playoffs. Currently, the Canadian team is in eighth place in the conference, with 75 points in its piggy bank after 70 games. The Habs intend to break away from the competitors who are constantly breathing down Martin Saint-Louis' team. In the second half of March, the guests have certain problems in the game plan and they lost three matches in a row. The Canadiens' current guest tour began with a 1-6 defeat in Missouri.

The Canadians played poorly defensively and conceded in large numbers. In the last four games alone, the opponents scored 16 times against Montreal and constantly made mistakes on their side of the ice. Samuel Montembo remains the club's main goalkeeper, conceding 2.93 goals per game. The goalkeeper blocked 89.83% of shots on goal and scored four times.

Disqualifications and injuries

Kirby Dakh, Keri Price and Kayden Gul will not play in Pennsylvania.

Interesting betting trends

Montreal gets an average of 9.17 minutes of penalty time per match.
According to statistics, the Canadiens make 26 shots on target.

Tip and bets

1.8Montreal with a head start (0)

In our opinion, Montreal will control the course of the match and dictate its terms to the opponent. The Canadians have lost three games in a row, but they still look much stronger than Philadelphia, which already seems to have accepted that it will not be able to play in the playoffs. It is very important for the team led by Martin Saint-Louis not to miss the eighth place in the East right now, so they will try to give their best. We believe in the guests and we offer a bet on the success of the second one. We take Victoria Habs with a head start of zero.

Prediction - Montreal wins with an Asian handicap (0) in 1.80

Do you agree with this bet?

1.63Montreal has more than 2.5 goals

Betting on an individual total

Philadelphia plays terrible defense and concedes a lot in every game. Flyers goalies don't help out their teammates and have poor numbers on the percentage of deflected shots. Montreal is good on offense and scores 3.06 goals on the road. We think that the Canadian team will easily score at least three goals against the opponent.

We take Montreal's individual total of more than 2.5 goals for 1.63

Bet on the total total

Both teams are playing poorly defensively at this stage of the season. Montreal has slowed down in defense and has a negative goal difference. At the same time, the visitors must take advantage of the weakness of their opponents, who conceded 14 times in only the last two games. We look forward to productive hockey and believe in at least six accurate shots for two.

We take a total of more than 5.5 goals for 1.77
