Philadelphia Flyers vs Carolina Hurricanes Prediction: Who will turn out to be stronger?

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on October 31. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Philadelphia, all the last years, has been in the status of an unqualified outsider of the league, which did not even try to attempt to break into the playoffs. Judging by the debut of the current regular season, the Flyers have no intention of tolerating that kind of situation. In eight meetings, they only three times left without points. They lost to Dallas in overtime - 4:5, while the Black and Orange managed to beat Columbus - 4:2, Vancouver - 2:0, Edmonton - 4:1, and Minnesota - 6:2. Despite such decent results, they remain only tenth in the Eastern Conference standings, which is hardly something to be proud of.

Carolina also had a relatively recent losing streak in history when they failed to make the playoffs for nine years in a row. Still, then Rod Brindamore began to build a team that has been among the top contenders for the Stanley Cup for several years now. So far, the Hurricanes have never even made it to the final series, but they have been performing consistently well, gradually gaining cup experience. In the debut of the current regular season, they are performing with mixed success: in nine meetings, they have five wins and four losses, sitting seventh in the Eastern Conference standings.

Philadelphia and Carolina, in the debut of the current regular season, show comparable results, but this does not mean that the level of their ambitions is close. While the Flyers are building a team capable of solving solid problems in the future, the Hurricanes already have one. Every year, they make it to the playoffs. Moreover, the favor of the team from Raleigh is also confirmed by the statistics of head-to-head meetings, according to which they beat the Pennsylvanians in the last seven consecutive meetings.

The confrontation between Philadelphia and Carolina in recent years often treats the public with high goal-scoring activity. In seven previous head-to-head meetings, the teams have scored a combined 48 goals (6.86 average per game). Moreover, in five of the last seven battles, the Flyers and Hurricanes have scored at least three pucks each so that we can expect a high-scoring rivalry now.
