Free NHL Picks & Odds: Atlanta Thrashers vs. Philadelphia Flyers
Atlanta Thrashers @ Philadelphia Flyers u5.5 (100)
Tue Mar 18 ’08 7:05p
The Under is now 7-1 in the last eight head-to-head meetings between the Atlanta Thrashers and the Philadelphia Flyers, and we see no reason why this game should be any different.
The Thrashers are having a very disappointing season after the best year in franchise history a year ago, and they have had trouble finding the net lately, scoring three goals or less in eight of their last nine games including scoring two or less in six of those contests. They have been particularly bad on the road all season, averaging just 2.30 goals per game overall.
The Flyers were actually contending for the division title a little while ago, but they have now plummeted to eighth in the East, no thanks to a current four-game losing streak. Philadelphia is averaging just 2.00 goals per game during this streak, scoring 1, 2, 2 and 3 goals respectively. Now granted, Atlanta is usually much more generous defensively, but none of the three head-to-head meetings so far this year have exceeded five combined goals scored.
We look for more of the same tonight, as these teams will struggle to reach five goals in their current forms.
