Stars vs Flyers: Philadelphia looking to keep the winning streak alive
The Philadelphia Flyers will be looking for their fifth consecutive win when they host the Dallas Stars at Wells Fargo Center on Thursday night.
Dallas starts a four-game road trip
The Dallas Stars are fourth in the Western Conference with a 26-12-5 record. They have won four of the last five games and are coming off a 5-1 win over the Los Angeles Kings, their second consecutive win by allowing only one goal. Dallas is the third-best scoring team in the league with 3.58 goals per game and is ranked 14th in the league, allowing 3 goals per game. Jason Robertson is the best player on the Stars team with 45 points and is one of 8 Dallas players who have scored double-digit goals so far in the season.
The Flyers have won the last four
The Philadelphia Flyers are fourth in the Eastern Conference with a 24-14-6 record. They have won the last four games, with the last three being on the road. The Flyers are coming off a 4-2 win over the St. Louis Blues. Philadelphia is ranked 24th in the league with 2.86 goals per game and is ranked seventh, allowing 2.68. Travis Konecny leads the Flyers with 40 points so far in the season and is tied for 15th place in the league with 21 goals.
Head-to-Head
Dallas has won the last 7 games against Philadelphia. They are 4-1 SU in the last 5 games overall, 8-0 SU in the last 8 games against teams from the Metropolitan division and 13-5 SU in the last 18 games against Eastern Conference opponents.
Prediction and Conclusion
Both Dallas and Philadelphia have been playing well in the past week. The Flyers are back home after a three-game road trip, while the Stars are going on a four-game road trip. Dallas has played very well on the defensive end, allowing only one goal in each of the last two games, and that will be the key factor in this game as well. Dallas won the last 7 games against Philadelphia, and that run is expected to continue tonight.
