Philadelphia - Winnipeg: NHL match betting tip
Winnipeg will arrive in Pennsylvania as the current leader of the Western Conference on March 7. The team from the province of Manitoba lost its former form and lost three meetings in a row, which is not so often the case with a team from Canada. Philadelphia continues to struggle to get into the playoffs, but now it is only on the 14th line in the East. Just a few days ago, the pilots outplayed their opponent on the road. Will John Tortorella's players be able to repeat their success? Look for the answer in our betting tip for the confrontation
Command Analysis
Philadelphia Flyers
USACurrent form
The Flyers are on the 14th line in the conference table and are gradually losing their real chances of making the playoffs. The Penn State team has scored 62 points in 62 games, but so far it is only four points behind the eighth-place Rangers, which does not look critical. Philadelphia started the last month of winter very poorly, but improved significantly at the end, winning four out of six matches. In the last away series, John Tortorella's team scored points in Pittsburgh (4:5, OT) and Winnipeg (2:1, B), but after returning home they could not cope with the pressure of Calgary (3:6). Already in the first period, the hosts conceded four goals and replaced the goalkeeper, but it was too late.
The pilots suddenly increased their attack and scored 20 goals in the last five matches. The Pennsylvania team is averaging only 2.95 goals per game this season, but the home team's forwards are in great shape right now. Travis Konecny has not scored points in four consecutive matches, but this does not prevent him from remaining the team's top scorer with 63 points (22+41).
Ivan Fedotov took the ice instead of Samuel Ersson in the last match and was pretty good. The Swedish goalkeeper is constantly injured and reflects only 89.09% of shots this season, so the Russian has a great opportunity to grab a place at the base. Besides him, Fila also has Alexey Kolosov, who also really wants to play.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ryan Ellis will not play in the next match.
Interesting betting trends
- Philadelphia throws only 27 times per game on average.
The hosts don't throw too many shots at goal, but they have a good percentage of sales.
- The Flyers only blocks 14 shots per game.
The defenders of the team rarely help their goalies and get under the puck.
Winnipeg Jets
CanadaCurrent form
The Jets retain the top spot in the West and have a fairly impressive handicap from their pursuers. Winnipeg scored 88 points in 62 starts and is six points ahead of Dallas, which took advantage of the Canadians' mistakes at the start of the spring and got a little closer. Scott Arniel's team had a series of 11 wins, but the expected decline awaited them. The Fighters have lost in the last three games without showing a strong game ahead. They lost to Nashville in Tennessee (1:2), lost at home to Philadelphia (1:2, B), and were defeated in New York (2:3) at the start of the new away series. The visitors lost to the Islanders by two goals at the start of the second period and were unable to return to the fight for points.
Mark Scheifele's squad seriously lost in attack and scored only nine goals in the previous five matches. During the regular season, Winnipeg was very good in the other half of the court and scored 3.48 goals per match. Kyle Connor continues to be the leader of the visitors' attack and has already scored 76 points (31+45) in the goal+pass system this season.
Connor Hellebuyck is the best goalkeeper in the league at the moment, and deservedly so. The American rarely plays weak matches and reflects 92.65% of shots. In 37 starts, he made six shutouts, which can be called a very strong result. His replacement, Eric Comrie, has good numbers, but cannot compete with the first number of the US national team.
Disqualifications and injuries
All the guest leaders will play in the next match.
Interesting betting trends
- Winnipeg allows you to shoot at your own goal only 28 times.
The defenders of the guests regularly meet opponents in the middle zone and do not allow the puck to reach the goal.
- Fighters win only 48.9% of face-offs
The Jets are more likely to lose on point, but that doesn't stop them from winning regularly.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 pucks
In the last three out of five matches involving the Jets, the first period was not productive.
1.95Bet 2nd period: Philadelphia will score
The Flyers have scored in the second period in seven of their last eight games.
1.55Tip and bets
It is unlikely that Winnipeg's unsuccessful streak will continue. The Canadian team has shown stability throughout the season and rarely loses several games in a row. Scott Arniel's team has already gone three times without a win, but this was an expected decline after a long series from Victoria. Philadelphia got off to a good start after the break, but it hasn't looked its best in recent games. We think that the fighters will be able to take revenge for the recent defeat on their ice. Now they look much more complete than the opponent. We take the victory of the guests in the main time.
Our prediction is a win for Winnipeg in 2.00
Betting on an individual total
Winnipeg remains the most reliable team in the league. On average, the Canadians concede only 2.35 goals per game, and Connor Hellebuyck, who leads the ranking of the best goalkeepers of the tournament, plays on the visitors' goal. Philadelphia is unstable up front and has failed to score against the Jets more than once on the road. We do not think that the owners in Pennsylvania will be able to do this.
The betting tip is Philadelphia's individual total of less than 2.5 goals in 1.90
Bet on the total
The Jets prefer to have full control of their matches, not allowing their opponents to play offensively. This season, the team from the province of Manitoba very often gives out extremely boring matches, one of which was the recent one against Philadelphia. The Flyers will have to adjust to the Canadians, so we don't believe in more than five accurate shots for two from these teams.
Betting Tip - total less than 5.5 goals in 1.90
