Florida vs. Philadelphia: NHL Match Prediction
Florida has just returned home and will play another match on November 10 at their home arena. Paul Maurice men have gained a crazy momentum and have taken the lead in the Eastern Conference standings. The Panthers have won six games in a row and are not going to slow down. Philadelphia is among the main outsiders and has not yet shown the kind of hockey that fans expect from the Flyers. Are the guys from Pennsylvania able to put up a fight? Or will the Cats win another confident victory? Read about it in our forecast
Command Analysis
Florida Panthers
USACurrent form
Florida has gained excellent form and has become the conference leader. The Cats currently hold first place in the East with 21 points after 14 games, but their rivals Carolina and Washington may overtake the Panthers in the very near future. Paul Maurice men are playing excellent hockey and have won their previous six games. The hosts started the calendar month with games in the Global Series in Finland. They beat Dallas twice (6:4 and 4:2) and were given a whole week to rest. Returning to their home grounds, Aleksandr Barkov team confidently beat Nashville (6:2), securing a comfortable lead by the sixth minute of the game. In the second half of the match, the Panthers allowed themselves to relax a little and conceded two goals.
Sam Reinhart is sixth on the league list of top scorers. The Canadian forward has 22 points (11+11) in the goal+pass system. His closest pursuers, Sam Bennett and Anton Lundell, have made 14 effective actions each and try to help their partners in every match.
Sergei Bobrovsky has stopped 89.14% of the shots and remains the club number one. Spencer Knight is trying his best to displace last season best goalie, but so far he only been given the role of backup.
Disqualifications and injuries
Florida only has Johan Gadlovich in the infirmary. All other Panthers leaders will be able to play against Philadelphia.
Interesting trends for betting
- Florida is averaging 3.86 goals per game.
The Panthers continue to show very productive offensive play this season.
- The Panthers allowed just six goals while shorthanded.
It is also worth noting the club very confident play in the minority. In this regard, the team remains one of the best in the league.
Philadelphia Flyers
USACurrent form
The Flyers remain one of the weakest teams in the league and are in the penultimate position in the Eastern Conference. Philadelphia has earned only 11 points in 14 games and is the lowest scoring club in the conference. In November, John Tortorella men achieved success in a game against St. Louis (2:1) on their home court, but the next day they lost to Boston (0:3). The Flyers' away series started in Raleigh (4:6), where the club from Pennsylvania lost in a shootout. In the previous game, the visitors won a comeback victory in Tampa, coming back from a 0:1 deficit in a confrontation with the local Lightning (1:2, B).
Fila still hasn't decided on the team first goalie. Samuel Ersson got injured and is unlikely to take part in the upcoming match. Alexei Kolosov and Ivan Fedotov got their chance. Just the day before, the former CSKA goalie won his first NHL victory in his career, but he only had an 85.15% save percentage.
Sean Couturier and his teammates are scoring the least of all the teams in the conference. On average, the Philadelphians are scoring only 2.64 goals per game, while the Flyers' attack leader Travis Konecny scored a modest 15 points (7+8). Russian Matvey Michkov has slowed down after a successful start to the season. The rookie remains with ten points (4+6).
Disqualifications and injuries
Ryan Ellis, Carter Hart, Ryan Johansen, Alexei Kolosov, Ryan Pehling and Cameron York will not play on the road against Florida. Samuel Ersson is questionable.
Interesting trends for betting
- Philadelphia is allowing an average of 3.64 goals per game.
The Pilots have shown a weak level of play in defense since the very start of the season
- The Flyers are averaging 10.5 penalty minutes per game.
The visitors cannot boast of discipline during the current season.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total over 1.5 goals
In six of Florida previous seven games, at least two goals were scored in the first period.
1.67Bet 3rd period: Florida will score
The Panthers have scored in the third period in their last five games.
1.30Tip and bets
Florida has gained excellent form and continues to consolidate its position among the conference leaders. Paul Morris' team has demonstrated high offensive performance recently and scores a lot. Philadelphia still has problems both in defense and in defense. John Tortorella charges are losing one game after another and look rather dull so far. The visitors are heading to the game against the Panthers immediately after a difficult match in Tampa. We do not think that they will be able to score points on the ice of Amerant Bank Arena. We suggest betting on the first victory in regulation time.
Our prediction is Florida to win at 1.63
Bet on individual total
Philadelphia is the lowest scoring team in the conference and there is no reason why this situation can change anytime soon. Florida plays great defense and has not allowed more than two goals in the last three games. We believe that the Panthers' defense will withstand the pressure of the opponent and will not allow even three goals.
Forecast - Philadelphia individual total under 2.5 for 1.70
Bet on total
The last games between the teams were not productive. Now the visitors are unlikely to score a lot of goals and will try to play as best as possible in defense. Florida has gained excellent form, but Paul Maurice charges do not always crush the Flyers. We do not think that the match will be too spectacular.
Forecast - total under 6.5 goals for 1.65
