The Boston Bruins and Philadelphia Flyers are on opposite ends of the standings this season. The Flyers are near the bottom of the Metropolitan Division with an 3-7 record, but have won three of their last four games. Currently sitting at 33-5-4, the Bruins boast the most successful record in the Atlantic Division with seven victories in their last ten games. As a result, the upcoming game should be a favorable one for both teams in the Eastern Conference.
As long as the defense continues to play well, the Flyers will be successful
It has been a rough season for the Flyers, who score only 2.84 goals per game. The first two lines of Kevin Hayes and Travis Konecny have scored 34 goals and 49 assists. Joel Farabee and Scott Laughton have added 20 goals and 30 assists. However, the rest of the offense has struggled. Due to a top-heavy offense, opposing defenses can limit the top-heavy offense because there are only five skaters with nine or more goals.
The defense of the Boston Bruins has been excellent this season
The Bruins are on a hot run with their offense scoring 3.76 goals per game, including 20 goals in their last five games. To lead the top two lines, David Pastrnak, Brad Marchand, and Patrice Bergeron each have 62 goals and 69 assists, but the rest of the offense has also contributed. Krejci, Hall, and Zacha have combined for 29 goals and 57 assists, while Hampus Lindholm and Charlie McAvoy have added seven goals and 44 assists from the point.
