The Philadelphia Flyers (18-11-3) take on the Detroit Red Wings (15-13-4) for the second time this season on Friday, December 22 at 7:00 PM ET at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan. The Red Wings have a moneyline at -135, showing that they are slightly favored to succeed.

 

The Flyers just had their three-game win streak snapped. This was against the Nashville Predators, which was a 4-2 ending result. Ironically, this was their second loss in five games and was also against the Predators.

 

Travis Konecny leads them with 26 points and 16 goals, which helps stimulate their offense. Travis Sanheim chips in with plenty of assists, as he currently has 18. Together, the two of them have helped push all their offense.

 

They are getting 2.88 goals and 32.6 shots per game. Their power play performances have not been the best, as they have scored 11 times but have allowed 14 from opponents. Their power play percentage stands at 10.8, which could impact them here negatively.

 

The Flyers are slowing teams down to 2.66 goals and 28.3 shots per game. Their penalty kill percentage stands at 86.3, which will likely be huge here for this matchup.

 

The Red Wings have lost their last four games and are needing to break the cycle soon. Their most recent struggle was a 5-2 showing against the Winnipeg Jets.

 

Alex DeBrincat has accumulated 28 points and 15 goals, making him the leader offensively here. Shayne Gostisbehere leads with 18 assists. On paper, they stack up eerily similar to the offensive leaders from the Flyers.

 

They are averaging 3.50 goals a game and taking 30.1 shots. Their power play performances have been slightly better than the Flyers at 29 goals scored and 25 allowed. They have a power play percentage at 21.8, which would make them slightly more favorable in those conditions.

 

The Red Wings are allowing 3.25 goals and 31.7 shots from opposing teams each game. They also have a penalty kill percentage at 78.4, which is slightly lower than the Flyers.

 

MyBookie is offering the odds, showing that the Red Wings are slightly favored to win at home. Can the Red Wings find success at home?

 

These two teams met on December 16, with the Flyers winning 1-0 and jump starting the Red Wings losing streak. The Red Wings’ offense is too good to go scoreless once, let alone do it again for a second time. In this upcoming matchup, the Red Wings will likely find a way to win and break their losing streak.
