Hurricanes vs. Flyers Preview
It’s tough to find much going right in Philadelphia right now. The Flyers are 0-4-2 and have yet to find the win column, getting outscored 24-7 and outshot 216-121. Philly also ranks last in the league in both expected-goal share (34.19%) and expected goals against per 60. Saturday’s 5-1 loss in Boston didn’t do anything to help matters.
Both teams are on the second half of a back-to-back, with Carolina coming off a 5-2 win in Chicago last night that pushed its win streak to four straight. Brandon Bussi and Dan Vladar both started yesterday, so it’s possible we will see Pyotr Kochetkov and Joseph Woll in net tonight.
Woll has been solid, posting a .927 save percentage across three appearances. Kochetkov is at .895 through two starts, but he has a much better structure in front of him than Woll, whose Flyers have been outshot by nearly 100 this season.
The Hurricanes should get plenty of looks, and Jackson Blake is my guy to cash in. He’s picked up a point in five of six games this season and has multiple points in each of the last two.
The chemistry Blake’s line found last season is still rolling. Taylor Hall scored again last night, and Logan Stankoven picked up an assist along with a hat trick on Thursday against Vancouver.
Against a Flyers team that hasn’t been able to keep anyone out of its zone, I’ll ride the streak.
Best Bet: Jackson Blake 1+ Points (-132, FanDuel)
