Philadelphia vs Florida Prediction: The Panthers will continue to play bright

On October 28, the Wells Fargo Center will host the NHL regular season matchup between Philadelphia and Florida.

Philadelphia is a team that has undergone an abnormally rapid regression over the past couple of years, going from a regular playoff contender to a hopeless outsider in the Eastern Conference. In the offseason, this crisis team was led by John Tortorella, who found himself in the familiar situation of having to build a game system practically from scratch. He's been doing a good job so far, as the Flyers started with three straight wins, after which the results deteriorated with two losses in the next three meetings. Still, they aren't playing too badly, so the Pennsylvanians' situation now doesn't seem hopeless.

Florida is another team that for years was among the underdogs in the league, but then the Southerners brought in Joel Quenneville as head coach. The experienced coach took the Panthers to the next level in a short period, but he could not continue working with them due to long-standing issues. Last season the coach was Andrew Brunette, who won the regular season and the President's Cup but fell to Tampa Bay, 0-4, in the second round of the playoffs. Paul Maurice is now in charge, with Florida in seven games, winning four games and losing three.

In the debut of the current regular season, Philadelphia plays at the level of Florida. Still, everyone knows that the level of ambition and squad is much higher in the Panthers. In the upcoming game, the Southerners are the favorites to win the game, as they are slowly starting to assert themselves, while the Flyers have already slowed down after their excellent start to the season. Paul Maurice's team is also favored by their head-to-head stats, according to which they won their last four ties in a row, so a bet on Florida to win for 1.72 is in order.

Philadelphia, since this season, plays under the leadership of John Tortorella, so we will see almost no result games with the Flyers from now on, and the rare chance to get on the upper hand outcome is their face-off with Florida, as the Panthers continue to play bright and offensively. Moreover, the opponents have scored 33 goals (6.60 goals per game average) in their last five head-to-head encounters, so Total Over 6.5 pucks for 1.80 is a good bet, and separately, bet on Anton Lundell Total Over 0.5 for 1.90.
