Philadelphia Flyers

The Philadelphia Flyers suffered a 2-1 overtime loss to the Seattle Kraken in their last game despite being the +115 underdog. Despite having powerful offensive stats, including Travis Konecny's leading 29 points and Joel Farabee and Sean Couturier's 24 and 23 point total respectively, their with five games with three or fewer goals in their last eight games has caused them to rank 25th in goals per game. The defense, however, has been solid with a sixth ranking in goals against per game, fifth in shots against per game, and Carter Hurt's spearheaded a 9-6-3 record with a 2.54 GAA and .915 SV%. Travis Sanheim also contributes to the defense with 25 points, and Samuel Ersson has a record of 9-4-2 with a 2.50 GAA and .902 SV% backing up Hart. With a 19-11-5 record and a power ranking of 19, the Flyers are hovering near the top of the league.

Calgary Flames Analysis

Nazem Kadri leads the team with 25 points while Jacob Markstrom has 8-10-2 record and Dan Vladar has 5-4-2 record. The defense has been good but goaltending has been an issue with both goalies having sub .900 save percentages.

Betting the Puck Line on Calgary (-1.5) with Flyers' Struggling Offense

Calgary has had considerable success in recent matchups against Philadelphia; boasting a 7-2-1 record in their last 10 meetings. On average, Calgary has scored 3.50 goals per game to the Flyers' 2.7, suggesting that Calgary may be the team to bet in this upcoming game. Philadelphia has struggled offensively this season, with three or fewer goals in five of their last eight games. Their overall ranking of 25th in goals per game further verifies these claims. With this history in mind, betting the puck line on Calgary (-1.5) appears to be a safe bet.
