Flyers, Penguins Set To Play in Pittsburgh
Penguins Hoping To Dominate Flyers Again
There are plenty of chances to make NHL betting predictions on Sunday, and that includes a huge game in the Eastern Conference. The Pittsburgh Penguins host the Philadelphia Flyers, and this is one of the best rivalries in the league.
It’s been another rough season for the Philadelphia Flyers, and they appear to be a team that is limping to the finish. Philadelphia had recently won four games in a row, but they suffered a loss in their most recent matchup.
Pittsburgh comes into this game with 84 points, and the Pens still have a chance of making the playoffs. The Penguins have gone just 3-2 in their last five games, and they need to find a way to have a strong finish.
The NHL lines for this game have the Pittsburgh Penguins as big moneyline favorites, as the odds are set at -240 for the home team.
Flyers Can’t Score Goals
The NHL news surrounding the Flyers this season hasn’t been very positive, especially when it comes to offensive talent for the team. Philadelphia is scoring just 2.7 goals per game this season, and they are a team that rarely scores on the power play.
Travis Konecny is leading the way with 28 goals and 55 points, but he hasn’t had a ton of help this season. Philadelphia has had some big offensive games of late, but they have really struggled to score against the Penguins.
The penalty kill has been another area of concern for the Flyers, as they are killing off less than 75% of their penalties. Playing against their top rival is going to give the Flyers an edge, but it’s not going to be enough to push them to a win.
Penguins Can’t Get Separation
Goaltender Tristan Jarry is back from an injury, and he has a chance to guide the Penguins to the postseason. After a recent dominant performance, Jarry said, “Any time you can get away from it a little bit, it takes a little stress off you and you’re able to just prepare your game and kind of work on the things you need to in practice.”
Pittsburgh is going to need their goaltender to stand tall, as the Penguins haven’t been able to find any separation. The Penguins are scoring 3.2 goals per game this season, but they are allowing more goals than that per game.
This is a team that is loaded with veterans, and the chance to play for a spot in the postseason can be a big motivator for a team like the Penguins.
