Penguins vs Flyers Key Stats
Pittsburgh's offense has helped them turn things around this season with better performances in the latter half of the season. Players like Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin have put forward their best performances with over 45 goal contributions in between.
Their defense has regrouped well to give better returns in their last four games. The goaltenders have been put under a lot of pressure and they have done decently with over 0.900 save percentages so far. They will need better contributions from their defense in this crucial phase of the season and will have to work to make it intact so as to end the season on a high.
Philadelphia's poor results can be attributed to their poor offense and to a certain degree their defense. Scoring has been a problem for them with only Travis Konecny and Kevin Hayes contributing in every game this season. They have lacked proper team play, which is why they are struggling.
The goaltenders have done individually well with a save percentage of over 0.900 but fell short of the desired results due to poor defense. The defense has its flaws and needs more effort as a team going forward this season.
Penguins vs Flyers Betting Prediction
Past results and overall team strength put Pittsburgh way ahead in this contest. They have won their last four games by a healthy margin and are 5-1 in their last 6 road games.
Philadelphia is struggling at the moment due to their unsettled defense and offense and is 1-4 in their last 5 home games. They have struggled against a team that regularly scores two or more goals, losing on 37 occasions in 54 meetings.
All the factors indicate that Pittsburgh is going to cover more spread in this game and get a win.
