One of the most high-profile coaching reshuffles has been associated with the Flyers this offseason. The Philadelphia team is now led by John Tortorella, one of the most successful hockey coaches of our time. And as it has already been told, the Flyers won the first game with the new coach, 5-2 against New Jersey. Allison and Frost and Konecny each scored twice for the Flyers. A very promising start.
Vancouver couldn't stop McDavid
While Philadelphia has made some serious changes, Vancouver this season continue what they started in the middle of last season under Bruce Boudreau. And the first game showed that the Canucks have the most serious intentions to progress. On the road, Vancouver put up stiff resistance to Edmonton, scored three goals thanks to the efforts of Peterson, Miller and NHL debutant Andrei Kuzmenko, but still lost, failing to cope with the genius of Connor McDavid. The Oilers' superstar scored a hat trick, bringing his team a 5-3 victory. The Canucks start with a loss, but the game makes them look like a team capable of fighting for the playoffs.
Injuries and suspensions
- Philadelphia: Patrick Brown, Bobby Brink, Sean Couturier, Ryan Ellis will not play. Cam Atkinson is questionable;
- Vancouver: Phil Di Giuseppe, Tyler Myers, Micheal Ferland will not play. Travis Dermott, Ilya Mikheyev are questionable.
Expert Betting Tips
Bets and predictions from the professionals Philadelphia looked great in the match against New Jersey. However, given the serious changes that have taken place with the team, they are unlikely to be stable. So, it's quite possible that the second game of Tortorella's Flyers won't be as successful as the first one. Especially against the tough Bruce Boudreau's Vancouver. The Canucks lacked just a little bit to score in the meeting with Edmonton, and now they will take what they started there to the end.
Prediction: Vancouver will be closer to winning.
