The Panthers are entering this game with 94 points, a 45-20-4 record overall, and they are 24-9-2 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They are entering this game off a loss against the Nashville Predators in their last game, losing that one at home 3-0, but this is also the 2nd game of a back-to-back for them with their game against the New York Rangers still to be played on Saturday night. In their game against the Predators, no one on the team scored a goal for them or recorded an assist in that game. Anton Lundell and Matthew Tkachuk each led the team in shots on net in that game with 4. Sergei Bobrovsky was the starting goalie in that game and he allowed 3 goals on 37 shots with 34 saves and a .919 save percentage. Their offense has scored 224 goals this season averaging 3.2 goals per game and their defense has allowed their opponents to score 168 goals against them allowing 2.4 goals per game.

The Flyers are entering this game with 81 points, a 36-26-9 record overall, and they are 19-14-3 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are entering this game off a win against the Boston Bruins in their last game on Saturday, winning that one at home 3-2.

The current betting odds have the Panthers listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Panthers have looked really good in their games this season with their 45-20-4 record overall which has them in 2nd place of their division in the East with one of the best records in the entire NHL right now. They are in a tight race with the Bruins for 1st place in their division and they have looked great in their road games all year with their 24-9-2 road record. Meanwhile, the Flyers have also looked good in their games this season with their 36-26-9 record overall which has them in 3rd place of their division in the East right now and in a playoff spot. Unlike the Panthers, the Flyers aren't really in the race for 1st place of their division and they are more focused on keeping their playoff spot and avoiding dropping into the Wild Card. They haven't looked great on their home ice this season with their 19-14-3 home record and they haven't looked good in their games lately either, going 5-3-2 in their last 10 games. The Panthers have been the much hotter team coming into this one with their 6-4-0 record in their last 10 games and they are also one of the best teams in the NHL this season. Both of these teams are in tough situations since both are playing on a back-to-back, but the Flyers are coming off a big win over the Bruins which could be a bit of a let down spot here the next day. The Panthers also have a tough game against the Rangers on Saturday but they also have a lot more depth and talent to deal with this situation. The best way to place a bet here is on the Panthers to win this game.
