Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Philadelphia Flyers Predictions

The Penguins and Flyers meet again after a closely contested shootout that saw Philadelphia emerge victorious. Pittsburgh, looking to rebound from their recent shootout loss, will rely heavily on their star player Jake Guentzel, who has been on a point streak and leads the team with 27 points. The Penguins’ offense, which ranks seventh in goals per game, will test the Flyers’ defense that has been inconsistent this season. However, the Flyers have shown resilience and are coming into this game with a boost of confidence after their recent win against their division rivals.

Philadelphia’s offense will be spearheaded by Travis Konecny, who leads the team with 12 goals and 17 points. The Flyers will need to capitalize on their sixth-ranked shots per game to break through the Penguins’ defense. The Flyers’ power play, which has struggled this season, could be a deciding factor in the game. On the other side, Pittsburgh’s power play has also been underperforming, and adjustments to their special teams could be key to securing a win.

Defensively, both teams have room for improvement. The Penguins will look to tighten up their defense, which has allowed a few costly lapses in recent games. Meanwhile, the Flyers will rely on their goaltender, who has been solid in net, to fend off Pittsburgh’s offensive threats. This matchup promises to be an intense battle as both teams vie for a much-needed win to climb up the division standings.

Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Philadelphia Flyers Pick

Considering the recent trends and statistics, the ‘Under’ pick seems to be the most prudent choice for the upcoming game between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Philadelphia Flyers. Both teams have shown a tendency to stay under the total line this season, with the Flyers hitting the under in 14 of their games and the Penguins in 14 as well. Additionally, the last head-to-head matchup between these two teams ended in a low-scoring affair that went to a shootout, further reinforcing the under trend. The Penguins’ power play has been struggling, failing to score in their last 26 opportunities, which could limit their scoring chances in this game. Furthermore, both teams have goaltenders who have been performing well, with save percentages over .900 in their recent encounter, suggesting another potential low-scoring game.

While the Flyers have been taking a high number of shots per game, their conversion rate has not been particularly high, ranking them in the middle of the pack in terms of goals per game. The Penguins, despite having a strong offense on paper, have not been able to capitalize on their scoring opportunities, especially on the power play. Given these factors, along with the defensive adjustments both teams are likely to make after their last meeting, it seems reasonable to expect a tight, defensively focused game with fewer goals scored, making the ‘Under’ the more compelling pick for this matchup.

The Pick: Under 6.0 +102 (BetRivers)
