Philadelphia really had a great qualifying round and won all three matches. The pilots were able to deal with Boston (4: 1), Washington (3: 1) and even Tampa (4: 1). In total, over three meetings, the team conceded only three goals and showed themselves disciplined both in defense and in attack. Alain Vigno’s squad began to rise in the second half of the season, when they beat all leaders. As you can see, the break did not affect the team’s performance in any way and it continues to win and do it beautifully. It is likely that the management and players have now plans to make it to the Cup final and Philadelphia can greatly delight their fans this year.
Chicago also showed spectacular hockey in the series with Edmonton. The team was initially considered an outsider in this round, but proved otherwise and was defeated in only one match. Let us remind you that after the Hawks lost 3:6 to the rival, they celebrated their success with a one goal difference. First, they beat Neftyanikov 4: 3 and then established the result in the third period – 3:2. At the moment, the main scorers of the squad are Jonathan Toews and Dominic Kubalik, who scored seven and six points, respectively. However, most likely, Jeremy Colliton’s team will regularly have difficulties with defense. So, what is the free prediction for the NHL match for today?
