Philadelphia Flyers Analysis
This season has been an emphatic display of Philadelphia Flyers’ dynamic offensive capabilities. Travis Konecny has established himself as an offensive threat, leading the Philadelphia Flyers with 21 goals while working closely with Joel Farabee and Sean Couturier has increased their chances of scoring success. Couturier’s playmaking abilities were evidenced by 18 assists; these talents combined perfectly with Konecny’s finishing to form a dynamic duo on the ice. While not their strongest power play performance, Konecny’s two power play goals demonstrate his capacity for capitalizing on such situations. To effectively defeat Blues defense, Flyers offense must maintain high shooting percentage and seize upon any shorthanded opportunities they come their way.
As Carter Hart has demonstrated his unflappability under pressure situations – crucial in stopping St Louis Blues’ aggressive offense – the Flyers defense has shown remarkable resilience on defense thanks to him. They boast 19-3 against spread games on the road thanks to his consistent performance; keeping this defensive discipline and Hart’s consistent performance will be essential components against St Louis Blues offensive threats.
St. Louis Blues Analysis
Robert Thomas has become an indispensable member of St. Louis Blues’ offense with 16 goals and 27 assists – becoming an essential piece of their offensive strategy. Thomas boasts an outstanding plus/minus rating that highlights his effectiveness on both ends of the ice, making him an essential asset against Philadelphia. Pavel Buchnevich and Jordan Kyrou complement Thomas’ playmaking abilities to round out their offensive strategy while reinforcing Thomas as an integral member of their lineup. Buchnevich and Kyrou have shown they have the skills needed to take advantage of special team situations with power play goals from Buchnevich on special teams and assists by Kyrou, both which will prove essential against Philadelphia Flyers’ defense – but specifically against their formidable goaltending unit more successfully.
Defense wise, the Blues depend heavily on goaltender Jordan Binnington who boasts an outstanding 0.907 save percentage and can effectively handle shootout situations if this game turns close. Binnington will need his defensive line to aid him effectively in stopping any short-handed threats from the Flyers. Although the Blues have shown some shortcomings in their defensive play at home, their ability to adapt and strengthen their defense against an opponent like the Flyers will be essential in winning this matchup. Their success depends heavily on their defense being able to contain high scoring forwards while seizing offensive opportunities created by themselves and limit high scoring Flyers forwards.
