March 23, 2024
Coming up on Saturday, March 23 at 1:00 PM ET, the Boston Bruins (41-15-15) square off against the Philadelphia Flyers (35-26-9) for the third encounter this season as they aim to win a third straight over the Bruins. The action takes place at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where the Bruins are moneyline favorites at -155.
Boston Bruins Betting Preview
The Bruins recently ended their three-game winning streak with a loss to the New York Rangers. This was a 5-2 result, which put them at 3-2 over their last five games.
They have a solid road record that shows their resilience, as they currently have it at 18-6-9. David Pastrnak will be a key player to watch, as he leads them in all categories with 99 points, 44 goals, and 55 assists.
The Bruins score 3.33 goals and take 29.7 shots per matchup. Their power plays have been good, as they have accumulated 51 goals and have allowed 43. This results in a power play percentage at 23.8.
Defensively they are a bit more appealing than the Flyers are. They are giving up 2.73 goals when taking 31.2 shot attempts, which is a solid difference between what their offense puts up.
Philadelphia Flyers Betting Preview
The Flyers are 2-3 in their last five games and need to get back on track. Their most recent battle was a 3-2 overtime defeat to the Carolina Hurricanes. This put them back on the losing side after a 4-3 win against the Toronto Maple Leafs the game prior.
While the Flyers are above .500 with their record, they are 18-14-3 at home. They will need a sensational game here from Travis Konecny, who has taken over as the leader for the Flyers with 59 points, 28 goals, and 31 assists.
The Flyers have been getting 2.92 goals scored a game on 33.2 shot attempts. They pose a weak power play percentage at 12.7, as they have scored 28 goals and have allowed 34 in those moments. This has arguably gotten worse as the season has progressed.
