DET Red Wings vs PHI Flyers Prediction: the Flyers have no global problems

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on December 19. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

DET Red Wings

Before the start of the season, Detroit looked like a capable team that was definitely in a position to fight for a playoff spot, or even make it past the first round. The Red Wings have a solid roster, but it's as if coach Derek Lalonde just doesn't have enough skill, and he can't seem to get a handle on his players. In 30 games, the Red Wings have only 12 wins and 18 losses, and with 28 points they are only 14th in the Eastern Conference standings. Needless to say, with results like that, there's no playoff contention. Detroit has six defeats in the past eight games, and the day before it unexpectedly beat Toronto 4:2.

PHI Flyers

As for Philadelphia, their campaign is going quite well. John Tortorella's wards in 31 games won 14 wins with 17 losses - for their resources this is a decent result, and in the overall table of the Eastern Conference they are in tenth place, one step away from returning to the playoff zone. At the same time, we note that the Flyers are playing in series - after three wins in a row, they gave up three games, then coped with Columbus (5:3) and Detroit (4:1), but the day before they lost to Minnesota without much of a chance - a 1:4 defeat.

Expert Betting Tips

Specialists of bookmaker companies believe that Detroit will be stronger in the upcoming meeting. At the same time, we believe that Philadelphia has every chance to grab points. Just a week ago, the Flyers had a great game against the Red Wings, and thanks to Scott Lawton's four goals, they beat them 4:1. At the moment, the Flyers have no global problems - they are fighting for a place in the playoff zone and often have great games. But Detroit is frankly not very good.
