Bruins vs. Flyers Preview
Boston Bruins
The Boston Bruins enter this contest on the second half of a back-to-back, which could lead to tired legs for an offense that already struggles to generate high-danger scoring chances. This season, Boston ranks 20th in the league in expected goals for per 60 minutes (xGF/60).
Because of the back-to-back, backup goaltender Joonas Korpisalo is expected to start. He has performed well against the Philadelphia Flyers, posting a 3-1 record with a .946 save percentage and a 1.43 goals-against average in the past four meetings.
Those games averaged 5.25 total goals.
Philadelphia Flyers
Another low-scoring matchup is likely in this contest. Philadelphia is one of the lowest-event teams in the league, driven by strong defense and limited offensive production.
Entering this matchup, the Flyers rank 22nd in goals scored per game and 12th in goals allowed per game. As a result, there have been six or fewer total goals scored in 10 of their past 13 games.
Philadelphia struggles to generate high-danger scoring chances, ranking 25th in xGF/60. However, its strength lies in limiting them defensively, as the Flyers rank fifth in xGA/60.
Bruins vs. Flyers Prediction
Backing that defense is goaltender Dan Vladar, who is expected to start Sunday. Through 47 appearances this season, Vladar is 25-13-7 with a .905 save percentage and a 2.38 goals-against average.
He has also performed well against Boston. In five career meetings, Vladar owns a .946 save percentage and a 1.37 goals-against average.
Finally, there have been six or fewer total goals scored in four of the past six meetings between these teams.
Pick: Under 6.5 (-140 | Play to -145)
