Predators Looking to Get Back in the Win Column

The Predators’ power play has been at a poor level, converting at an 11.8% clip, showcasing a need to improve going forward. Their defensive game shows a specific need as well, allowing 3.36 goals per game, as they need to get some stops.
On the goaltending front, goaltender Juuse Saros is going to be in the net as he has a 4-3-2 record with a .904 save percentage and 2.84 goals allowed per game.

Flyers Looking to Continue Dominant Home Start
The Philadelphia Flyers, playing at a strong level up to this point as they are in sixth place in the Metropolitan Division with a 5-3-1 record early on, face a team that is playing at a middling level. Their recent game at home against the Penguins, a 3-2 shootout win, reflects a team that is willing to step up and fight to get points on their ledger. Center Sean Couturier is leading the franchise with nine points (two goals, seven assists). The Flyers are dealing with a pair of injuries as one player is already ruled out for Thursday’s game.
Philly’s offensive output has been unable to get going thus far, with the team sitting in 27th place in the league for goals scored, averaging 2.67 goals per game. The Flyers’ power play, operating at a 17.2% success rate, and their penalty kill at 88.6%, highlight areas of the game that are doing well through the first few weeks of the year.
Goaltending is one of the team’s strong suits, with Dan Vladar looking to improve as he is dominating thus far as he is posting a 3-2-0 record with 1.81 goals allowed per game and a .932 save percentage. If the defense continues to step up, the team can win games despite the lackluster offense.

Over/Under Pick for Predators at Flyers
- Under 5.5 (4 units)
These offenses have been absolutely struggling to attack the opposing goaltender this season as Nashville is 22nd in the sport with 26.7 shot attempts per game, while Philadelphia is last with only 23.7 shots on goal per game. Juuse Saros and Dan Vladar have been playing well in the early portion of the regular season, and that helps limit the number of pucks passing them to the back of the net. These teams are both in the top six in terms of killing penalties this season, up to this point as well. All in all, go with under 5.5 total goals to be scored in this game.
