Boston tops both the Eastern Conference table and the overall championship table with 28 points. The team at the start of the season demonstrated excellent results and is now on a series of four victories. We emphasize that the Bruins have not conceded more than two goals in any of the last six matches. They dealt with Calgary (3:1) on their ice, then beat Buffalo (3:1) on the road and again, with the support of the home stands, proved superior to Vancouver with a score of 5:2. At the same time, the “bears” are notable for their remarkable performance and only in two cases they failed to open the opponent’s defense three times.
Philadelphia showed a good game in the starting fights and surprised from time to time, but now it has gone beyond the playoff zone and began to descend closer to the outsiders. Recall that in the last four meetings, the team also failed. They lost to Ottawa (1:4) and Dallas (1:5) on the home arena and on the road they failed to cope with the same Columbus (4:5). If at first the pilots managed to hold back the onslaught of the opponent due to the brilliant play of the goalkeepers, now, when the goalkeepers stopped making save after save, they concede at least four goals per match. The most failed in the performance of the Flyers are the first and third periods. More todays NHL predictions can be obtained from the link provided.
