LiontipsLos Angeles vs Philadelphia. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (January 2, 2022).
Command Analysis
Los Angeles have been rebuilding the team in recent years, so the Kings haven't been showing outstanding results. But this season, they are looking more solid and even have a shot at making the playoffs. Currently the Kings are in 11th place in the West
Since the middle of December, Los Angeles have been alternating between victories and defeats. After the break, the hosts played two games. They lost to Vegas (3:6) before getting the upper hand over Vancouver (2:1 SO).
Philadelphia have been struggling for some time, too. In one season they can't build their defensive game, and next year they improve the defenses, but fail to create attacking chance.
The last four games of the Flyers ended outside regulation. They defeated Ottawa (4:3 ОТ) and Seattle (3:2 ОТ), but lost to Montreal (2:3 SO) and San Jose (2:3 OT).
