LiontipsPhiladelphia vs New Jersey. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (December 4, 2022).
Command Analysis
Philadelphia were on a long losing steak of 10 games, but they finally managed to break it in the game against the Islanders. The Flyers got a (3:1) victory over New York, but couldn't build on that success and lost to Tampa (1:4) in the following game. Goalie Hart wasn't very reliable in that game and saved only 85% of the shots he faced. At the moment, the Flyers are in 14th place in the standings with 21 points.
New Jersey, on the contrary, are having a great season. They have overtaken Boston and are now top of the Eastern Conference table. In the last game, however, the Devils suffered a defeat to Nashville in overtime (3:4 OT). Goalie Vanecek had a bad performance and saved only 83% of the shots. The team will hope to bounce back and get a win tonight.
