Flyers vs Bruins Key Stats
The inconsistent and poor offense has Philadelphia down this season as they could score just 41 goals in 16 games. Although Travis Konecny and Kevin Hayes have had a great partnership, their 35-goal contributions have failed to provide any relief to the team from the losses.
The defense has fared well in the league, conceding 3 goals per game on average. The goaltenders have done well with a save percentage of 0.900, saving over 501 shots in 16 games.
Boston are one of the strongest teams in the league and have scored around four goals per game on average this season. The duo of David Pastrnak and Hampus Lindholm have done a commendable job, especially David, who has been involved in 25 goals alone. Both are very crucial for the team and are likely to play an important role in this game too.
The defense has done great and has kept the opposition's chances of scoring goals to a minimum. Goaltender Linus Ullmark has been excellent whenever he has played, conceding less than two goals per game.
Flyers vs Bruins Betting Prediction
Boston have played excellently this season and have been more consistent than Philadelphia. There is a mismatch in terms of offense and which will play a key role in deciding the result of this game.
Boston are 4-0 in their last 4 games against the Metropolitan and have 4 times in the last 5 meetings against Philadelphia at home. Philadelphia are coming off a losing streak and have not played well in Boston, which makes things difficult for them in this game too.
Prediction : Take Boston, -1.5(-120)
