Philadelphia nevertheless broke its winning streak, which reached three matches in a row. The team went on a visit to Washington, where they played very poorly defensively, conceding as many as six goals and suffering a 4-point defeat.:6. Goalkeeper Vladar played terribly, deflecting only 70% of shots. Let's remind that before that, the Flyers had pleased the fans with a very reliable defense, which allowed them to confidently cope with Chicago (5:1) and Detroit (5:3), as well as snatch Victoria from a much more powerful opponent in the face of Dallas in overtime (2:1). So far, the team remains outside the playoff zone, occupying only the 11th place in the Eastern Conference table, however, the gap from the eighth position is only two points.
Detroit also continues to struggle to get into the playoff zone. At the moment, the team is on the ninth line in the table, and the gap from the nearest opponent is only two points. However, the club has been in terrible shape lately and is constantly losing. In five games, the Red Wings were able to score just one victory over Buffalo with a score of 5:2. Moreover, it is worth noting that the Sabres were far from being in the best shape at that time, which they managed to take advantage of. In all other meetings, the team experienced huge defensive problems, which repeatedly led to sad consequences.
It is not easy to determine the winner in the upcoming match. Both teams are showing unstable results. However, it should be borne in mind that at the moment Detroit looks much worse, as it is in terrible shape and suffers constant defeats both at home and away. The Flyers, in turn, with the support of their native stands, have been achieving the desired results much more often lately, so we suggest betting in favor of the owners of the ice.
