LiontipsPhiladelphia v New Jersey. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL
Command Analysis
Philadelphia had a three-game home streak. It kicked off quite badly when Philly lost to New Jersey (1:4). Then the team redeemed themselves, thrashing Pittsburgh (7:2). The best player in that game was striker Giroud, who gave an assist and scored a double. In the return match, though, it was the Flyers' turn to concede seven goals, and they ended up losing to the Penguins with a score of 3:7.
Then the Flyers had to play away, where the team beat Washington (4:2). In the second match against the Capitals, Philly were close to another victory but still lost in overtime (1:2).
New Jersey have gained decent form, which allows them to steadily earn points. In seven games the team lost only to Boston (0:3) and the Islanders (1:5). The Devils also had some problems with the Bruins in the return game as well, but they managed to overcome them and took revenge on Boston in overtime (4:3).
It is worth noting that most of the Devils' wins were earned at home, while away they haven't always been able to show their best performance, hence only two victories in ten games. New Jersey remain in the penultimate line in the Eastern Division with 45 points.
