Philadelphia - Boston: betting tip (kef 2.17) and bets on the NHL match

Current form 

That's the thing, sometimes a 4-1 score speaks for itself, and sometimes it hides a real hockey fight, where every meter of ice needs to be chewed out. That's exactly the kind of match the Flyers had away against the Islanders on April 3. The guests started as if they were late for the last train to the playoffs - abruptly, brazenly and without unnecessary hesitation. In the 14th minute, Owen Tippett opened the scoring after Travis Sanighame's pass, and it was just the warm-up. Less than a minute and a half later, Alex Bump doubled the lead — and then the combination with Matvey Michkov and Noah Kates worked beautifully.

In the second period, Michkov scored an individual pass, an accurate shot, 3-0. A young guy, but he plays as if he has been registered in this league for a long time. However, the Islanders are not one of those who give up without talking — Jean-Gabriel Pageo scored one goal, returning the intrigue. But in the third period, Philadelphia put everything in its place. An empty gate is also something you need to be able to find, and Sanigame put a bold dot on the Michkov and Bump passes. The main character? Of course, Michkov: a goal and two assists — the evening was a success. And Dan Vladar worked calmly and confidently in goal, allowing his opponent to score only once. The Flyers, with 88 points, continue to cling to their chance — and they do it, I must say, with character.

But the Bruins' story turned out to be a completely different genre — almost a tragedy in three acts. The match against the Tampa Bay Lightning started calmly, even too much. The first period is like a combat exploration: a lot of movement, little specifics, zeros on the scoreboard. In the second period, Boston opened the scoring neatly and masterfully. Casey Mittelstadt made the moment after the passes of Viktor Arvidsson and Pavel Zachi.

It seemed that this was the usual pattern: they scored, closed, and led to victory. But hockey is a game of mood, and sometimes of short memory. In the third period, the Bruins seemed to have forgotten how to hold the advantage. First, Charles-Edouard D'Astous equalized, then Darren Raddysh put Tampa ahead — and then it started to smell fried. And when Nikita Kucherov sent the puck into an empty net a minute and a half before the siren, it became clear: the evening was over for the guests. Jeremy Swayman, in general, kept the team in the game — 20 saves from 22 shots. The result is 1:3 and the need to recover urgently. 94 points is, of course, solid, but it's too early to relax.
