LiontipsPhiladelphia vs Washington. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (February 18, 2022).
Command Analysis
Philadelphia are plagued with injuries: nine of the Flyers were ruled out of this fixture, and two remain doubtful. Evidently, the team is struggling to earn points. The Flyers lost the last three games, two of them to Detroit (3:6 and 2:4). The hosts also suffered a defeat to Pittsburgh, but at least they managed to hold the Pens to a draw in regulation and yielded only in overtime, thus earning a point.
Washington aren't delivering solid results, either. The Capitals won only two of the last five games: against Montreal, who are in terrible form themselves, and against Nashville (4:1). Forward Ovechkin had a good game against the Preds and scored a double. Last Sunday, Washington lost to another outsider, Ottawa, with a score of 1:4.
