Carolina Hurricanes Betting Preview

The Hurricanes are 3-2 in their last five games and need to continue their winning streak. They are coming off a 3-2 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets. This was a fierce finish in the third period, as both teams scored all their points in that period alone.

They are second in the Metropolitan Division and only a sliver of a game ahead of the Flyers. Winning here on the road would give them the confidence they need to stay ahead of them this season.

They are averaging 3.30 goals a game and take 33.6 shots to make it happen. They have accumulated 219 penalty minutes, but have done a nice job at scoring 16 power play goals overall. They show a solid power play percentage at 21.6.

The Hurricanes defense is not the best, as they allow 3.35 goals from opposing teams that also take 25.1 shots a game. They have also allowed teams to score a total of 17 goals in power play opportunities, but thankfully they have a respectable penalty kill percentage at 74.6.

Philadelphia Flyers Betting Preview

The Flyers have also gone 3-2 in their last five games and need to boost their record at home. Their recent battle was a 1-0 shootout win over the New York Islanders, which ended their previous two-game losing streak.

They are right behind the Hurricanes in the division and need to obtain a quality win over them to potentially move up. However, can they get back on track?

The Flyers score 3.00 goals and take 32.3 shots per game. Their power play percentage is a bit lacking at 10.1, showing they have just seven power play goals in total.

Their defense is a bit better than the Hurricanes, as they allow teams to score 2.76 goals and take 27.0 shots per game. They also have a stronger penalty kill percentage at 83.6 compared to the Hurricanes.
