Flyers and Penguins Face Off in Keystone State Showdown
Pittsburgh Penguins vs Philadelphia Flyers
February 25th 2025 | 7:00 PM EST | Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, PA
Grade B: Flyers Moneyline (-135)
The Philadelphia Flyers, currently on a two-game winning streak, host the Pittsburgh Penguins tonight at Wells Fargo Center. The Flyers have struggled defensively, allowing 187 goals this season, contributing to their recent skid. Meanwhile, the Penguins have shown inconsistency, with a recent 3-2 victory over the New York Rangers on February 8, but losses in four of their last six games. Notably, Pittsburgh's power play ranks 6th in the league at 25.2%, while Philadelphia's penalty kill stands at 86.5%, setting up a critical special teams battle. With both teams vying to improve their standings, the Flyers' home-ice advantage and the Penguins' inconsistent form make this matchup intriguing. Betting on the Flyers at -135 offers a reasonable expectation of success, earning this wager a B grade for its moderate risk and potential value.
Grade B+: Pittsburgh Penguins Puckline +1.5
The Pittsburgh Penguins, led by captain Sidney Crosby, are set to face their state rivals, the Philadelphia Flyers, at Wells Fargo Center. The Flyers have been on a downward trajectory, suffering five consecutive losses—including a 4-3 defeat to the Capitals—before snapping that streak vs the Penguins on the 8th. Defensively, Philadelphia has been porous, conceding 190 goals this season, which ranks among the league's highest. In contrast, the Penguins have shown resilience, securing three wins in their last five games, highlighted by a 3-2 victory over the New York Rangers on February 8. Historically, Crosby has been a thorn in the Flyers' side, amassing 49 points in his last 29 games against Philadelphia. With both teams striving to improve their playoff prospects, the Penguins' recent form and the Flyers' defensive vulnerabilities suggest that betting on Pittsburgh to cover the puck line at -225 is a prudent choice, earning this wager a B+ grade for its favourable odds and likelihood of success.
Grade B+: Over 5.5 Total Goals
The Philadelphia Flyers, having recently snapped a five-game losing streak with a 3-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on February 8, are set to host the Pens once again at Wells Fargo Center. Both teams have struggled defensively this season, with the Flyers allowing 190 goals and the Penguins conceding 187, ranking them among the league's most porous defenses. Offensively, Pittsburgh's captain, Sidney Crosby, has been a consistent threat, while Philadelphia's Travis Konecny leads his team with 33 goals. Given the defensive frailties and offensive capabilities on both sides, betting on the over for a total of 5.5 goals is advisable, earning this wager a B+ grade for its strong potential based on current team dynamics.
