Command Analysis
San Jose Sharks
USASan Jose celebrated success over Minnesota (5:2) in their previous home game. Defenceman Karlsson scored a goal and provided three assists. Oddly enough, he is the Sharks' top scorer - the defenceman has chalked up 48 points since the start of the season. The team couldn't build on their success in the following away game, suffering a defeat to Vancouver (2:6). Goalie Reimer saved only 76% of the shots he faced.
Philadelphia Flyers
USAPhiladelphia struggle to collect points. In the last nine games, the Flyers got only two victories, both against opponents in terrible team form - New Jersey (2:1) and Columbus (5:3). The team continues to lose points on their travels - in the last two outings, the Flyers put up good fights but still suffered defeats to Toronto (3:4) and Carolina (5:6).

Tip and bets
San Jose are the favorites in this match, but we think they won't be able to overcome Philadelphia. The Sharks are in poor form and often lose even at home. The Flyers haven't won in a while, but they looked good against such opponents as Toronto and Carolina. We believe they will finally come out on top tonight.
Our prediction -Philadelphia to win
The teams rarely deliver high performance in head-to-head games, but in recent games, both sides had problems on defense. We recommend taking a risk and playing the over.
Second bet - total over 5.5 goals
