The Boston Bruins and Philadelphia Flyers meet Tuesday in NHL action at the Wells Fargo Center.
The Boston Bruins look for a win after splitting their last 10 games. The Boston Bruins are averaging 2.7 goals per game and are scoring on 23.1 percent of their power play opportunities. Brad Marchand leads Boston with 17 goals, David Krejci has 21 assists and Patrice Bergeron has 113 shots on goal. Defensively, the Boston Bruins are allowing 2.5 goals per game and are killing 89 percent of their opponents power plays. Tuukka Rask has given up 35 goals on 377 shots faced and Jaroslav Halak has allowed 41 goals on 456 shots.
The Philadelphia Flyers need a win here after losing six of their last nine games. The Philadelphia Flyers are averaging three goals per game and are scoring on 19.8 percent of their power play opportunities. Joel Farabee leads Philadelphia with 14 goals, Jakub Voracek has 24 assists and James van Riemsdyk has 89 shots on goal. Defensively, the Philadelphia Flyers are allowing 3.6 goals per game and are killing 73.3 percent of their opponents power plays. Carter Hart has allowed 20 goals on 192 shots faced and Brian Elliott has allowed 47 goals on 418 shots.
The Bruins are 42-16 in their last 58 Tuesday games and 1-6 in their last 7 games playing on 0 days rest. The Flyers are 1-5 in their last 6 home games and 2-6 in their last 8 overall. The under is 12-3-1 in Bruins last 16 overall. The over is 11-3 in Flyers last 14 overall. The Bruins are 5-0 in the last 5 meetings. The favorite is 5-0 in the last 5 meetings.
The Boston Bruins have been hit or miss over the last month or so, but they've still won five of the six meetings this season against the Flyers, and that lone loss was last night and needed overtime to be decided. The Philadelphia Flyers are still a talented club, but they have yet to string wins together and they haven't had a ton of recent success at home. Until proven otherwise, I have a hard time getting behind the Flyers until they can string together some victories. Give me the Bruins and the cheap price.
