The Philadelphia Flyers and Winnipeg Jets meet Wednesday in NHL action at the Canada Life Centre. The Philadelphia Flyers need a win after losing seven of their last nine games. The Winnipeg Jets need a win after losing eight of their last 11 games.

The Philadelphia Flyers are averaging 2.6 goals per game and are scoring on 12.3 percent of their power play opportunities. Cam Atkinson leads Philadelphia with 23 goals, Travis Konecny has 36 assists and James van Riemsdyk has 177 shots on goal. Defensively, the Philadelphia Flyers are allowing 3.6 goals per game and are killing 75.6 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Carter Hart has allowed 137 goals on 1,441 shots faced, and Martin Jones has allowed 111 goals on 1,106 shots.

The Winnipeg Jets are averaging 3 goals per game and are scoring on 21.3 percent of their power play opportunities. Kyle Connor leads Winnipeg with 45 goals, Blake Wheeler has 42 assists and Nikolaj Ehlers has 238 shots on goal. Defensively, the Winnipeg Jets are allowing 3.2 goals per game and are killing 74.4 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Connor Hellebuyck has given up 192 goals on 2,122 shots faced, and Eric Comrie has allowed 41 goals on 485 shots.

The Flyers are 15-37 in their last 52 road games and 13-38 in their last 51 overall. The Jets are 5-2 in their last 7 games as a favorite and 1-4 in their last 5 overall. The over is 3-1-1 in Flyers last 5 road games. The under is 4-1-1 in Jets last 6 overall. The Flyers are 0-4 in the last 4 meetings in Winnipeg and 43-19-2 in the last 64 meetings.

Neither of these teams have anything to play for the last week of the season, but it’s fair to say the Winnipeg Jets are the better team here and have been showing more pride. Heck, the Jets just beat the Avalanche a couple of days ago. The Philadelphia Flyers have been a joke for the majority of the season, and they’ve been at their worst on the road. Usually I lean toward the plus money in a battle like this between two slumping teams with no motivation, but I have to lean toward the Jets on their home ice.
