Listen
The rivals will meet for the second time in eight days at the Xfinity Mobile Arena. The first game turned out to be tight and ended with a victory for Carolina in overtime, but since then the teams have gone in completely different directions. The Hurricanes have gained momentum and won four times in a row, and Philadelphia is still winless. In our betting tip, we analyze this contrast and choose a bid
Command Analysis
Philadelphia Flyers
Philadelphia is having a very difficult start to the season. After six matches, the team still does not have a single victory - four defeats in regular time and two more outside it. During this entire stretch, the Flyers scored only seven goals and conceded 24 already.
The last meeting also did not give much reason for optimism. In Boston, Rick Tocchet's team lost 1-5, with only 15 shots on target. Porter Marton scored the only goal. Philadelphia still creates too little and has to play for a long time without a puck in almost every match.
Carolina Hurricanes
Caroline's picture is completely the opposite. After two failures at the start, the defending champion won four times in a row - against Philadelphia, Montreal, Vancouver and Chicago. Moreover, in the last three victories, the team scored 18 goals.
The Chicago Hurricanes won 5-2. Jackson Blake and Jordan Martinuk scored two points each, Brandon Bussy made 24 saves. Now Petr Kochetkov is expected to return to the goal, and the Russian traditionally plays very well against Philadelphia - seven wins in eight career matches.
The first face-to-face meeting ended only in overtime, so you should not completely write off the hosts. But over the past week, the difference between the teams has become even more noticeable. Carolina has won four times in a row and now easily creates chances against almost any opponent. Philadelphia, on the other hand, scored only seven goals in six games and just made 15 shots in Boston. It is very difficult for the hosts to maintain a high tempo throughout the match, and it is in this hockey that the Hurricanes feel as comfortable as possible. Yes, the visitors are playing their second match in two days, and this is the only serious argument against them. But the depth of the squad and the current form make it possible to cope with such a calendar. If Carolina quickly takes the initiative again, it will be extremely difficult for Philadelphia to respond with goals.
