Command Analysis
Philadelphia Flyers
USACurrent form
After losing to Montreal (2:3), the team went to visit the Rangers, where they unexpectedly showed a great game and rehabilitated themselves in front of the fans, defeating the cops with a score of 8:5. In particular, it is worth noting the entire first link, which scored a total of 12 points. Returning to the home arena, the Flyers consolidated their success with another victory, snatching it from the Islanders in a shootout (4:3). Everything was heading for a confident victory, but the islanders equalized the score just a minute before the final whistle, which created additional problems for the ice masters. It is impossible not to mention goalkeeper Ersson, who deflected 37 shots out of 40.
Next, the hooligans went to play away from Ottawa, where they were close to their third victory in a row. The team showed a very active offensive game and created serious pressure on the opponent throughout the meeting, but it was not fully realized, which led to a failure in overtime (3:4). Goalkeeper Fedotov turned out to be not as reliable as his teammate, deflecting all 84% of shots.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ristolainen and Ellis will miss the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends

Columbus Blue Jackets
USACurrent form
Columbus picked up excellent form at the very end of the regular season and continues to beat all opponents on its way, and the winning streak has already reached four matches in a row, all of which ended in regular time. The Blue Jackets played at home, where they confidently defeated Ottawa (5:2), and then snatched Victoria from Buffalo with a one-goal difference (3:2). Continuing to perform in their native walls, the jackets fought with the current leader of the Eastern Conference in the person of Washington and defeated him dry (7-0). It is difficult to even single out any of the players, since almost all distinguished themselves by their effective actions.
After that, the Blue Jackets went on a visit to the capitals, where they only consolidated their success by winning another landslide victory (4:1). Once again, Fantilli's striker scored a double. It seems that the team is still seriously counting on getting into the playoffs. At the moment, the gap from the eighth place is only three points, and if Montreal does not score more points, and Columbus wins two more victories, it will receive a ticket to the draw.
Disqualifications and injuries
Labanque will not play in the upcoming match. Christiansen and Merzlikin are also questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- Columbus gets an average of 8.04 minutes of penalty time.
- Uniforms win 48% of face-offs

1.55Tip and bets
Philadelphia has long lost all chances of making the playoffs and is just trying to finish the regular season as well as possible. Columbus is much more motivated to win, as the club can still compete for the Stanley Cup. In addition to this, the jackets have gained excellent shape and consistently beat all competitors on their way, performing both at home and away. We believe that the Blue Jackets will continue to fight and win another victory.
Our betting tip is for Columbus to win the match in 1.99
Bet on the total
Also, in the upcoming match, it is quite possible to expect a large number of abandoned goals. Columbus has a very active and effective offensive game, but the club's defense leaves much to be desired. The same can be said about Philadelphia. It is for this reason that we choose the total more as the second bet.
Betting Tip – total more than 5.5 goals in 1.60
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Columbus has recently been showing a great game at the start of the match and steadily gaining an advantage in the first period. We believe that the guests can create serious problems for Philadelphia again in the initial twenty minutes.
Prediction – Columbus won the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.88
