Flyers vs Devils Key Stats
Philadelphia's offense has failed to perform, with only a few players scoring for them this season. Players like Kevin Hayes and Travis Konecny have something to cheer about this season with 9 and 11 goals respectively. They will have to play a crucial role in the upcoming game as the team looks to perform better.
Their poor defense is another reason for them performing badly. The defensive unit has failed to provide enough support to the goaltenders, making the situation more problematic for them. The Flyers have conceded goals at a rate of over 3.20 per game and need a lot of changes in the near future for better returns.
New Jersey have a strong offensive setup, scoring over 100 goals this season. Contributions from players like Jack Hughes, and Jesper Bratt have made a big impact, with over 25 goals in between.
Their defense has conceded less than 2.5 goals per game and with goaltenders improving with each game, they look solid coming into this one. Their only concern is that in the last few games, things have not gone as planned for them and they need some luck to go in their favor.
Flyers vs Devils Betting Prediction
Both teams come into this game with poor results in the past and they will be under pressure to perform better. Philadelphia have failed to perform away from home and will be under extreme pressure in this tie. Having a weak defensive setup with no offensive support further throws them into a difficult situation.
New Jersey have won 14 times in their last 16 games when playing on a day's rest and will be in a good state compared to their opponents. Additionally, a better offense gives them an edge along with home advantage and they are expected to cover the spread comfortably.
Prediction: Take, New Jersey, -1.5(+192)
