Flyers vs. Islanders Key Stats
Philadelphia's offense has not done well and scoring has been a problem for them, with only Travis Konecny and Kevin Hayes putting in some decent effort in every game this season. Proper attacking gameplay is missing due to less involvement from other players and they will have to address this going into the future.
The goaltenders have done individually well but could not transform it into the desired result due to a poor defensive unit. The defense needs to put in more effort going forward this season.
New York has done decently, scoring over three goals per game on average this season. With efforts from Brock Nelson and Mathew Barzal, they have built a good offensive unit and are doing well this season. The team will expect other players to come in handy while scoring so as to add more venom going forward.
Their defense has given a solid performance this season, conceding just 2.6 goals per game on average, and will look to further improve it for better results.
Flyers vs. Islanders Betting Prediction
The game is very much one-sided given the fact that Philadelphia has been winless in the last nine games and very unsettled coming into the game. Poor away form adds further misery and they are likely to suffer in this game too.
New York at home has come out as the winner five times in their last six games. Further, there is a lot of improvement in the offense and defense of the team, making it the contender for a win in this game.
Prediction: Take, New York, -1.5(+115)
