Philadelphia vs Winnipeg Prediction: the Visitors' Defense is Unreliable

Prediction for the NHL Philadelphia Flyers vs Winnipeg Jets match, which will take place on January 23. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Philadelphia

Over the past couple of years, Philadelphia used to be a hopeless outsider in the NHL. There were no signs of improvement now, either. Yes, John Tortorella's team had a decent start to the regular season but then began to lose game after game. It seemed as if the Flyers would continue to be the whipping boys, but they did not accept that role. In their last 12 meetings, the Pennsylvanians had only three losses and nine wins. That strong start allowed the team to move into 12th place in the Eastern Conference standings.

Winnipeg

Winnipeg also earned high marks in the first half. Last season the Jets didn't make the playoffs, but now they show decent results among the league leaders. More than once, the Blues and Whites have had winning streaks. Nevertheless, in their last three games, they have won only once over Ottawa, 5-1. They lost to Montreal and Toronto, 1-4, dropping to second place in the Western Conference standings.

Expert Betting Tips

Lately, Philadelphia has been doing surprisingly well, slowly making their way to the playoffs, which seemed like a dream not long ago. In the upcoming battle, the Flyers will host the second-best team in the Western Conference and have some chances for success. The statistics for encounters at the Wells Fargo Center say the Jets failed to win nine matches.

Winnipeg should have a lot of problems in the upcoming matchup on offense. John Tortorella requires his team to defend reliably, which hints at the total under. In the last eight meetings at the Wells Fargo Center, the Canadiens have scored only 12 pucks (1.50 average per game), and not once have they shot more than twice.
