Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the NHL match.
Detroit Red Wings
The Red Wings use the power play well for sure. They have scored 6 out of the last 15 attempts. It gives the result, considering their goaltender who can take a puck from a short distance. The Red Wings will hardly keep their wild card zone.
Philadelphia Flyers
The Flyers can beat their opponent. They play tough and get a lot of penalty minutes (10.5 per game), but they defend well when their opponent plays in power play. They neutralize 85.23% of the attempts, occupying the 2nd place in the league in this case.
Detroit Red Wings – Philadelphia Flyers prediction
The Red Wings statistics are not impressive when they play 5 on 5. The team has won thanks to a very good manner of playing og their goaltender, Alex Lyon. However, looking at his performance on Wednesday – 27 saves out of 32 attempts and substitution after the second period, - the Red Wings will have big problems.
The Flyers won’t lose, playing 5 on 5, they can defend well when their opponent plays in power play. I guess they can win.
