The Philadelphia Flyers and the Carolina Hurricanes meet in NHL action from the PNC Arena on Friday night.
The Philadelphia Flyers come into this game looking to bounce back from a 3-0 loss at the hands of Toronto in their last game. Claude Giroux and Sean Couturier each have a team-high 12 points with a team-high 7 assists as well as 5 goals while Travis Konecny and Cam Atkinson each have 8 points with Atkinson logging a team-high 6 goals and a +8 plus/minus rating on the year. Carter Hart has gone 3-3-2 in goal for Philadelphia, posting a 2.49 GAA and a .924 save percentage while Martin Jones is 3-0 with a 1.67 GAA and a .950 save percentage this season.
The Carolina Hurricanes will be out to add to their 10-1 start to the year after a 2-1 overtime win over Tampa Bay in their last game. Andrei Svechnikov leads Carolina with 15 points including a team-high 7 goals along with 8 assists while Sebastian Aho has 12 points with 5 goals and 7 apples. Vincent Trocheck and Tony DeAngelo each have 11 points with DeAngelo logging a team-high 9 assists and a +11 plus/minus rating as well this season while Trocheck has 3 goals and 8 assists. Frederik Andersen’s made 10 starts for Carolina, going 9-1 with a 1.73 GAA and a .939 save percentage this season.
Philadelphia is 35-17 in their last 52 games against the Eastern Conference and 8-17 in their last 25 games against a team with a winning record while the under is 6-0 in their last 6 games overall. Carolina is 10-1 in their last 11 games overall and 28-11 in their last 39 home games while the over is 6-1 in their last 7 Friday games.
I get the case that could be made for the Flyers, but I’m not looking to step in front of the Hurricanes right now. Carolina’s just on a mission and while the Flyers are a decent team, they’re missing the talent to get them over the edge against a team like Carolina in my opinion. Give me Carolina -1.5 here as I think the Canes take this one by a count of 4-1 or something in that area code.
