Islanders vs Flyers Key Stats
New York has done decently, scoring over three goals per game on average this season. Players like Brock Nelson and Mathew Barzal are doing well this season with over 44 goal contributions in between. The team will look for similar performances for the season ahead.
Their defense has done a great job and provides additional strength to the team, conceding just 2.6 goals per game on average. They will look to strengthen it further as it will play a crucial role in the season ahead.
Philadelphia's offense has been a problem for them, with only players like Travis Konecny and Kevin Hayes putting in some decent efforts with over a goal contribution per game this season. Proper teamwork and strength are missing from their defense and they need to address this for future games.
The poor defensive unit has failed the individual work of the goaltenders, who have a combined save percentage of over 0.900. They will have to make a lot of changes to strengthen their defense in the future, starting with the upcoming game.
Islanders vs Flyers Betting Prediction
Both the teams have had contrasting runs and Philadelphia are behind on every statistic. They have not played well at home either and have one of the poor offenses in the league. New York have momentum on their side and a better away record, which makes them the likely winners of this contest.
