Philadelphia Flyers Betting Preview

The Flyers are currently on a five-game win streak coming into this event, with wins against dominant teams in the league. Their most recent success was a 5-2 performance over the Columbus Blue Jackets, which showed how consistent they have become.

They currently sit at the second spot in the Metropolitan Division, which is plenty of spots ahead of the Islanders. Their road performances are solid and they have a quality chance to improve upon their 5-3-1 record. 

They are scoring 3.33 goals and giving up 2.89 goals per game. This is not much breathing room, as they started off the season in rough shape. As for shots each game, they average 31.4 and allow 27.7 from their opponents.

The Flyers have a penalty kill percentage at 81.7 and a power play percentage at 11.5. In their 215 total penalty minutes, they have allowed 11 power play goals and have scored seven of their own.

New York Islanders Betting Preview

The Islanders finally landed their first win for the month of November and ended their seven-game losing streak. This recent win was a 5-4 shootout over the Calgary Flames.

They are plenty of spaces back from the Flyers, currently at seventh in the Metropolitan Division. Their home record is not that appealing and it could make a difference here, as they are 3-3-3.

They have struggled on both sides of the puck, with 2.53 goals scored and 3.24 allowed from their opponents. This cannot continue if they want to land more wins this season. They also do a good job at staying aggressive in their 31.0 shots each game, but they allow other teams to average 35.1 shot attempts.

The Islanders showcase a penalty kill percentage at 69.5 percent and have a power player percentage hovering around 22.9. They also have allowed 18 power play goals and have scored 11 of their own.

Odds, Series Trends and Free Pick

The New York Islanders are slightly favored to win this matchup, with odds currently set by MyBookie. This is surprising, especially since they just won their first game in November.

The Islanders might have a spark coming into this game. However, the Islanders have shown more promise in their last five games versus what the Islanders have attempted the entire month of November.
