Game: Philadelphia Flyers vs Carolina Hurricanes
Pick: Philadelphia Flyers -0,5, 1,95 on Expekt
H2H: Canes and Flyers face for the first time this season.
Carolina Hurricanes
Carolina (5-5-0) travel to Philadelphia vindosde a home defeat against the Penguins 3-0 in a game that will be the 8th out of 11 total matches. The team Carolina has felt some difficulties in the attack and recorded two games in the last three white. One of the faces is trying to reverse this situation is No. 7 draft choice of this year, Jeff Skinner, which already totals for a total of 7 points, tied with his captain Eric Staal. In the last victory of the team scored two goal and gave another to score.
Tonight Justin Peters will be starting the match in the first game he has done this season has not started the best way, by allowing four goals on just 27 shots made by the opposing team.
There are no major casualties for today by the Canes
Philadelphia Flyers
The Flyers get the Canes in good time, since that score has not been a problem for them in recent time. Scored 15 goals in his last three games, and in these cases is that one can apply the motto followed by many "The best defense is a good offense," since these three games the Flyers managed to so many victories. With a record of 6-4-1 come to an easy victory over the Islanders 6-1, this after they defeated last week by the Penguins and the Sabres by 3-2 6-3. The victory over the Islanders allowed to return to goals from Chris Pronger, scoring not only on one occasion, but two. Also featured a goal and two assists from Kimmo Timonen.
Even with Leighton on the site, tonight will be rookie Sergei Bobrovsky again to defend the goal the Flyers, is basically a prize for his recent performances. Won all three previous meetings and has reduced their average goals conceded, standing now at 2:44 goals per game. It is expected to continue the good performances and that will increasingly gain confidence in his debut season in the NHL.
Highlights have been Claude Giroux, coming from three consecutive games to make at least two points, while Jeff Carter held a total of six points in games against the Sabres and Islanders. On the other hand the Flyers now have a low last minute, as Danny Briere was punished by the NHL for a total of three games, which start counting from today.
CONCLUSION: Today I believe we have a game with few goals, and that this will be key factor for me as the guardian of the Canes, Justin Peters. I think it's a big risk to put him play early today, Peters is not of itself a view to filling the eye, 85.2% of defenses against the LA Kings, is also not exactly a very experienced, and facing a team that has been unstoppable in attack I think Peters will feel a hard time, adding to that the fact that the defense of the Canes be something permeable (average of 3 goals conceded per game) I think we have the makings of a landslide for the men of the house.
