Philadelphia Flyers

Los Angeles Kings

Philadelphia is 26th in scoring, tied for 16th in goals against, 32nd on the power play, and 22nd on the penalty kill. Travis Konecny leads the team in goals, assists, and points. The Flyers are 17-12-4 on the road and 7-2-1 in their last 10 games. Philly has been playing well away from home and this will be the second night of back-to-backs for them. They have scoring momentum and stable goaltending. Philadelphia overall is still in the lower tier for scoring and has some scoring depth injuries. Lately, the Flyers have competed hard, defended well, and grinded out close games.

Los Angeles is 27th in scoring, 10th in goals against, 24th on the power play, and 29th on the penalty kill. The Kings are 10-15-7 at home and 5-4-1 in their last 10 games. For the last couple of weeks, Los Angeles has been in a win-loss mode and they haven't won two games in a row in almost two months. The defense is doing well and allowing under three goals per game and the veteran leadership has been solid, with Anze Kopitar recently becoming the franchise's all-time points leader. This team is at their best when they control the tempo and play structured hockey.

Best Bet: Under

Both teams are trying to make the postseason, and the Kings are right on the border of the playoff picture. Both teams' last few games have been low-scoring and close ones. With a lot on the line to play for, the Flyers will try to get another defensive effort going on the second night of back-to-backs and the Kings are back home after a 3-1-1 road trip, looking to carry good road play to their below-average home ice efforts.
