Philadelphia Flyers vs. Toronto Maple Leafs
March 19, 2024
The Toronto Maple Leafs (38-19-9) will travel to Pennsylvania to take on the Philadelphia Flyers (34-26-8) for the third time this season on Tuesday, March 19, at 7:00 PM ET. The action will be held at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where the Maple Leafs are favored with a moneyline of -135.
Toronto Maple Leafs Betting Preview
The Maple Leafs recently snapped a two-game win streak with a 5-4 shootout defeat against the Carolina Hurricanes. Their recent win streak included a 6-2 victory over the Flyers on the road, which marked their second win over them this season.
They showcase an appealing road record 20-7-6 and significant momentum from their last win over the Flyers. The only concern is fatigue, as they have played on the road in their three out of four matchups.
The Maple Leafs create 3.58 goals on 32.7 shot attempts a game. Their power plays are robust, with a 26.1 power play percentage. Compared to the Flyers, they have a significant advantage here.
Their defense is appealing, but only compared to their offense and margin of victory. They are allowing 3.12 goals on 29.8 shots from opposing teams. Their penalty-kill percentage of 76.8 needs to be higher compared to the Flyers.
Philadelphia Flyers Betting Preview
The Flyers have lost their last two games, the most recent being a 6-5 road loss against the Boston Bruins. This marked their second consecutive loss, allowing six goals each time, which puts their defense in question.
Most teams would be comfortable at home, but the Flyers are barely above .500. Their current record of 17-14-3 shows that they have issues when returning to their home arena.
Offensively, they have issues since they roughly score 2.91 goals and take 33.3 shots a game. Their power play percentage is considerably weaker than the Maple Leaf's at 13.0, which shows a sign of weakness.
Their opponents typically get 3.02 goals on 27.7 shots a game on them. This is slightly better than the Maple Leafs, but their winning margin differs. They also boast an appealing penalty kill percentage of 84.7, which could positively impact them.
Odds, Series Trends, and Free Pick
MyBookie offers the Toronto Maple Leafs as a slight favorite for success on the road. It makes sense to choose them here, especially since they have defeated the Flyers in both meetings this season. Furthermore, the Flyers have allowed six goals twice in a row and have allowed six or more goals in their last three losses.
Final Pick: Toronto Maple Leafs -135
