Columbus - Philadelphia: betting tip (cf. 1.98) and bets on the NHL match

The Blue Jackets suffered their third defeat in a row, losing to Tampa Bay with a score of 1:3. Matthew Nice scored the only goal for the hosts, who converted the majority after Kent Johnson's pass. At the same time, the team made 29 shots on target, but could not beat Dennis Hildeby more than once. In the final period, the opponent twice took advantage of defensive mistakes and secured the victory. Head coach Rick Bowness missed the meeting due to illness, so Don Granato performed his duties.

Columbus has scored only five goals in the last four games. Earlier, the club lost to Florida (1:4) and Buffalo (2:5), and before that managed to beat Dallas in shootouts (2:1). Zach Werenski continues to actively help the offense, while Adam Fantilli and Johnson try to create chances for their partners. However, implementation remains a major challenge. The situation is further complicated by Sean Monahan's injury sustained in the previous encounter.

The Flyers' last meeting against Edmonton showed how difficult it is for the team to score goals. Rick Tokket's team actively spent the first period, but could not take advantage of the shots. After the break, the opponent scored twice, but goals from Tyson Foerster and Travis Sanheim allowed the equaliser to be restored. In overtime, the defenders made a mistake, which Evan Bouchard took advantage of. The 2-3 defeat was the fourth in the last five matches.

Philadelphia scored its only victory in this segment over Vancouver (3:1). The team also lost to Calgary (3:4 OT), Rangers (2:3) and Minnesota (2:4). Matvey Michkov continues to participate in organizing attacks, while Foerster and Owen Tippett are capable of creating danger when playing in the majority. However, the attack lacks stability, and even good work in a foreign zone rarely leads to high performance. At the same time, the return of Rasmus Ristolainen added defensive options.
