Flyers vs. Bruins Preview
The Bruins are fresh off a dominating win against the Mammoth on Thursday, and now they face a vulnerable Philadelphia Flyers roster.
Flyers fans had a lot to like last season, but after losing their first five games, they're starting to sweat.
Rasmus Ristolainen missed Thursday’s game with an undisclosed injury, and if he misses this afternoon’s game, it could be even more trouble for the Flyers.
Boston, on the other hand, is humming. It got past the two 4-1 losses to both the Senators and the Wild, and there’s enough reason for me to believe that there’s more to come.
Obviously, it’s a small sample size, but this team has been elite at generating offensive chances. The Bruins are ranked sixth thus far in expected goals and even though the defense hasn’t shaped up, the goaltending is good enough to bail them out.
I anticipate Jeremy Swayman will get the nod once again for the B’s, though it’s unconfirmed that he’s starting. But even if coach Marco Sturm decided to roll with Michael DiPietro instead, I still like the B’s.
Philadelphia has one of the worst defenses in the league right now, ranking last in expected goals against. Its goaltending tandem featuring Dan Vladar and Joseph Woll is really strong, but if you continuously get hung out to dry by the D, it’s going to be a long season.
I’ll take Boston at home today.
Best Bet: Bruins Moneyline (-144)
