The Florida Panthers and Philadelphia Flyers meet Thursday in NHL action at the Wells Fargo Center. The Florida Panthers look for a win after splitting their last 6 games. The Philadelphia Flyers look to build on their 4-2 record.

The Florida Panthers are averaging 3 goals per game and are scoring on 6.1 percent of their power play opportunities. Matthew Tkachuk leads Florida with 4 goals, Aleksander Barkov has 4 assists and Gustav Forsling has 21 shots on goal. Defensively, the Florida Panthers are allowing 3 goals per game and are killing 77.4 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Sergei Bobrovsky has given up 14 goals on 152 shots faced, and Spencer Knight has allowed 5 goals on 53 shots.

The Philadelphia Flyers are averaging 2.83 goals per game and are scoring on 20 percent of their power play opportunities. Travis Konecny leads Philadelphia with 4 goals, Kevin Hayes has 7 assists and Joel Farabee has 19 shots on goal. Defensively, the Philadelphia Flyers are allowing 2.33 goals per game and are killing 77.8 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Carter Hart has allowed 7 goals on 137 shots faced, and Felix Sandstrom has given up 6 goals on 60 shots.

The Panthers are 41-19 in their last 60 games playing on 1 days rest and 48-22 in their last 70 overall. The Flyers are 3-7 in their last 10 home games and 16-42 in their last 58 overall. The under is 8-2-1 in Panthers last 11 overall. The under is 4-1 in Flyers last 5 overall. The Panthers are 2-6 in the last 8 meetings in Philadelphia and 4-0 in the last 4 meetings. The favorite is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings. The home team is 19-7 in the last 26 meetings.

The Florida Panthers are the more talented team and should be favored, but their power play still sucks, and it’s cost them in games recently. Also, like most Philly teams this year, the Flyers are playing decent hockey through 6 games and their defense has been tough. Not sure how it will last, but the Flyers are an intriguing dog at home. I’ll take a shot to make more than 1.5 times my money.
