Philadelphia

Philadelphia finally cut their losing streak! The Flyers could not win for ten games, although they started the regular season well. John Tortorella's team had five wins in their seven starts and were among the league leaders. Alas, the Orange couldn't go this way. On the contrary, they found themselves in a grave crisis that they began to overcome only now. The day before, the Islanders came to the Wells Fargo Center, and the Pennsylvanians sensationally defeated them 3-1, although they were trailing 0-1 in the first period. This success let Philadelphia keep 13th place in the Eastern Conference standings.

Tampa Bay

Tampa Bay had a pretty good season, though one would have expected something more modest performance. The Lightning played too hard the last few seasons, so they had minimal rest, and fatigue was building up. They failed three out of four games in the debut, but they gradually began to gain pace. In the last eight games, John Cooper's team had six wins, losing only to the great Boston - 3-5 and 1-3. Such a solid run allowed them to climb into sixth place in the Eastern Conference standings.

Expert Betting Tips

• Philadelphia has failed 10 of the previous 11 games.
• Philadelphia conceded at least four pucks in 9 of their last 11 matches.
• Philadelphia has scored fewer than three goals in four of their last five home games.

The day before, Philadelphia finally interrupted their 10-game bad streak by beating the Islanders, but this does not mean that the Flyers' crisis remains elsewhere. No, they still have their game problems, so it will be tough for John Tortorella's team to oppose the finalist of the last Stanley Cup. The Oranges took the first meeting, but it was a month and a half ago. The Pennsylvanians had a great start to the season, but now everything has changed, and the Southerners are the favorites.

Philadelphia has been losing and conceding a lot lately. In the previous 11 meetings, they missed 46 times (4.18 average per game), while the Flyers did that only four times.
