Travis Konekna's return turned out to be very timely for Philadelphia. The striker missed ten matches due to injury, but in the first match after recovery he helped the team break a prolonged series of failures. However, now the opponent will be much more serious. Minnesota scored points in five consecutive matches and recently confidently dealt with Washington. The guests are especially good at limiting the number of dangerous moments near their own gates. In our betting tip, we will look at the current state of the rivals and try to find the right bet
Command Analysis
Philadelphia Flyers
So far, Philadelphia occupies one of the last places in the Eastern Conference, although there have been some improvements in the offense. Matvey Michkov is gradually getting in shape and has already scored ten goals this season. Trevor Zegras also regularly helps partners create moments. However, the results remain unstable. Recently, the team lost to Columbus (3:4 OT) and Washington (2:5), and before that it could not cope with Anaheim (4:5). It was especially frustrating that in several meetings the Flyers themselves allowed their opponents to return to the game.
But against Utah, the hosts finally managed to have a really productive match. Already in the first period, Michkov scored, and then the advantage was increased. Travis Konekny, who returned from injury, scored a goal and an assist. Noah Kates and Christian Dvorak also scored two points apiece, while defenseman Jamie Drysdale had three assists. The 6-3 victory made it possible to break a series of three defeats. However, there is still a lack of reliability in defense, and against a more organized opponent, such shortcomings can be decisive.
Minnesota Wild
The main advantage of Minnesota now remains a fairly balanced game. John Hines' team has won four of the last five meetings, and the only defeat in this segment was from the Islanders (3:4). And before that, they managed to consistently beat Seattle (5:1), Vancouver (4:2) and Utah (3:1). Especially impressive is the reliability of the defense, which is conceding an average of just over two goals per match this season. At the same time, Kirill Kaprizov is in the attack, who regularly brings results, and Quinn Hughes provides the necessary support when organizing attacks.
In Washington, Wild demonstrated how dangerous they can be even at a party. By the sixth minute, the team was leading 2-0 thanks to goals from Hughes and Michael McCarron. The hosts reduced the gap before the second break, but in the final twenty minutes, Minnesota finally decided the outcome of the meeting. Maxim Shabanov, Kaprizov and Danila Yurov brought the score to 5:1. Jesper Wallstedt blocked 26 shots, and Kaprizov scored the 500th point in his NHL career. After such a victory, the guests approach the next match in a great mood.
The rout of Utah showed that Philadelphia has room for improvement. Konekna's return added depth to the attack, and Michkov continues to regularly find opportunities for shots. However, it will not be easy to count on a repeat of such success against Minnesota. The guests are much more attentive around their own goal and rarely allow opponents to freely dispose of the puck. In addition, in recent matches, the Wild has managed not only to defend reliably, but also to quickly move the game into someone else's zone.
For the hosts, much will depend on the implementation of the majority and how well the meeting will be able to start. If Minnesota gets the advantage first, it will be difficult to win back against such a defense. At the same time, the guests now have a more stable squad and spend their final periods better. We believe that even with the active play of Philadelphia, the Wild hockey players will be able to take advantage of their opportunities and continue to score points.
Our prediction is that Minnesota will win the match in 1.57
