Avalanche Winning With Defense

Nathan MacKinnon is leading the charge for the Avalanche this season, as he has racked up 25 assists to lead the team with 33 points. Colorado has continued to be great on the power play as they have converted at a league-best 32.5 percent rate.
Goaltender Alexandar Georgiev has gone 11-3-1 in net this season, and his strong play has allowed the Avalanche to continue to rack up wins.

Flyers Not Scoring Any Goals
After the most recent loss, Flyers coach John Tortorella said, “I don’t think we had many lapses tonight.” It’s unclear which side of the ice Tortorella was referring to, but this team has to find a way to start scoring more goals.
Philadelphia comes into this game scoring an NHL-least 2.36 goals per game, and that’s just not going to get the job done on a consistent basis. The Flyers are also allowing 3.24 goals per night, and the special team’s play has been a major challenge.
Kevin Hayes has done his best to lead the Flyers as he has eight goals and 17 assists on the year. This matchup is not a good one for Philadelphia, as it will take some offense to keep up with the Avalanche.
