Command Analysis
Edmonton Oilers
Canada- Edmonton has allowed at least four goals in every game
- Against the Oilers, opponents were penalized on average twice.
Philadelphia Flyers
USACurrent form Philadelphia did not have the opportunity to get to the playoffs last season and spent most of the time at the bottom of the standings. The team did not have long winning streaks and sometimes lost to obvious outsiders. It is quite possible that this year they will not be able to participate in the Stanley Cup playoffs, because no serious changes in their roster occurred during the offseason. Nevertheless, in the opening match with Vancouver, the Flyers already managed to earn two points (3:2 SO), but in the next match with Philadelphia they suffered a defeat with a score of 3:6. In general, it is already clear that John Tortorella squad, like last year, will count on open hockey and constantly act on the counter courses, because this is the only way to find their scoring opportunities. It is worth saying that in each match, the Flyers try to shoot at the goal as often and as much as possible from any position, and sometimes such activity brings them results. However, of course, it is very difficult to start the season with a long away series, so with each match the team strength is getting less and less. It is possible that already in the meeting with Edmonton, Phil will not be so fresh and will not keep up with their counterpart. Disqualifications and injuries Ellis, Hart and Johansen will be out of the match due to injury. Interesting trends for betting
- Philadelphia scored in two previous games when the teams were outnumbered
The "Pilots" are constantly looking for an opportunity to score not only in the majority, but also find chances to run to the goal in the 4x5 format.
- In previous games, the Flyers have been penalized at least five times.
Philadelphia has not been very disciplined at the start of the season.
Trends

2.15Tip and bets
Philadelphia is inferior to its opponent in class, and previous head-to-head matches often ended with Edmonton winning in regulation time. Of course, the season started terribly for the Oilers, but in our opinion, it is time to break the long series of failures. In terms of play, the home team certainly looks no worse than the Flyers and will certainly be the first to act. If the attack leaders turn on, the Flyers will have no chance of a favorable outcome. Prediction - Edmonton win for 1.75
Bet on individual total Edmonton always counts on attacking hockey and tries to spend a lot of time in the opponent zone. Philadelphia often conceded four goals in previous meetings with the Oilers. In general, the style of play of Tortorella team implies a considerable number of goals conceded, so in the upcoming confrontation it makes sense to take the individual total of the Oilers. We take Edmonton individual total over 3.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.90 Total Bet We expect to see at least seven goals scored in this match. Both Edmonton and Phil play mediocre defense and constantly concede a lot. The teams rely on counterattacking hockey and play without a middle zone, so in matches with their participation you can often see a lot of goals. By the way, the last meeting between them was also with seven goals scored. We bet on total over 6.5 goals for 2.20
