Tampa Bay capitalized on their power play opportunities, scoring twice on three attempts, while the Flyers managed to convert one of their chances.

Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Philadelphia Flyers Predictions

The Tampa Bay Lightning head into this game on a two-game winning streak, looking to continue their push up the Eastern Conference standings. With star forward Nikita Kucherov leading the charge, the Lightning’s offense has been electric, with Kucherov amassing an impressive 102 points this season. Tampa Bay’s recent form on the road has been a mix of highs and lows, but they’ll aim to leverage their offensive prowess, which has seen them ranked among the top in the league in goals scored.

Philadelphia, on the other hand, is looking to snap a two-game losing streak and defend their home ice. The Flyers will rely heavily on their top scorer Travis Konecny, who has been a consistent threat with 27 goals and 54 points. Despite recent struggles, the Flyers have shown they can be formidable at Wells Fargo Center and will look to their defensive unit to stifle Tampa Bay’s high-powered attack. The Flyers’ ability to convert on power plays could be a critical factor in this contest.

This game also features a compelling goaltender matchup, with Tampa Bay’s Andrei Vasilevskiy and Philadelphia’s Carter Hart both capable of stealing games for their teams. The battle between the pipes could ultimately decide the outcome. With both teams jockeying for playoff positioning and the Flyers seeking to avenge their previous loss to the Lightning, this game has all the makings of a classic Eastern Conference showdown.

Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Philadelphia Flyers Pick

The Philadelphia Flyers, despite their recent setbacks, have shown a strong ability to bounce back, especially when playing at home. With a solid home record and the Flyers’ tendency to perform well against the spread as underdogs, the odds are in favor of a Philadelphia victory. The Flyers’ resilience and the high stakes of improving their playoff positioning make them a compelling pick. Additionally, the Flyers have a history of stepping up in key matchups, and with the support of their home crowd at the Wells Fargo Center, they are likely to bring an elevated level of play that could see them overcome the Lightning.

While the Tampa Bay Lightning have been formidable opponents, the Flyers’ need to snap their losing streak and the potential for their power play to capitalize on opportunities present a strong case for a Philadelphia win. The Flyers’ goaltending has also been reliable, and if Carter Hart can match or outperform Andrei Vasilevskiy, it could tip the scales in Philadelphia’s favor. Considering the favorable moneyline odds and the Flyers’ motivation to avenge their previous loss to the Lightning, betting on the Philadelphia Flyers moneyline is a strategic choice for this Eastern Conference clash.

The Pick: Philadelphia Flyers -103. (BetRivers)
