Philadelphia Flyers vs San Jose Sharks 12/29/2022 Picks Predictions Previews
The Philadelphia Flyers will go against the San Jose Sharks in NHL action at SAP Center in San Jose, CA, on Thursday, December 29, 2022, at 10:30 PM ET.
The Philadelphia Flyers just suffered a difficult 6-5 loss at the hands of the Carolina Hurricanes. Despite outscoring one of the league’s top defensive teams three times in a row in the third period, they were unable to mount a successful comeback.
When Samuel Ersson gave up five goals on 30 shots in his NHL debut, two of those three goals were scored while the team was shorthanded.
Ersson was substituted midway through the second quarter and came back at 9:54 because Carter Hart was hurt.
Hart, a 24-year-old goaltender, is in concussion protocol and is anticipated to miss Thursday’s game against the Sharks. By producing 2.57 goals per game, the Flyers have the fourth-lowest offensive output in the NHL.
Just 16 of their 105 power-play attempts were successful for them (31st in the league). The Flyers are 24th in the NHL in penalty-killing efficiency (74.5%) and 20th in goals against (3.37 per game).
- The total went OVER in 4 of Philadelphia’s previous 5 games.
- The Philadelphia Flyers are 4-16 SU in their previous 20 meetings.
- The Flyers are 1-7 SU in their last 8 matches against San Jose.

Philadelphia Flyers vs San Jose Sharks Predictions 12/29/2022
This previous Tuesday, the San Jose Sharks got back to losing. The Sharks suffered a crushing 6-2 loss against the Vancouver Canucks after ending a three-game losing streak with a 5-2 home triumph over the Minnesota Wild.
Timo Meier added two goals to bring his total for the season to 36 points (G20, A16), but James Reimer only allowed six goals on 25 shots.
In 2022–2023, James Reimer is now 7–10–3 with a 3.14 GAA and a .898 save percentage. In that resounding victory over the Flyers, he kept watch over the cage.
This time around, Kaapo Kahkonen, who is 3-7-2 with a 3.83 GAA and.872 save percentage, may be given the starting nod.
The Sharks have the second-best penalty-killing percentage in the league (84.9%), yet they still rank 27th in the NHL in goals allowed per game (3.64). San Jose is 14th in power-play % and 22nd in goals for (3.03 per game) (23-for-101).
- The total went OVER in 8 of San Jose’s last 10 matches.
- The San Jose Sharks are 1-4 SU in their previous 5 encounters.
- The total went OVER in 6 of San Jose’s last 7 matches at home.
Philadelphia Flyers vs San Jose Sharks. The NHL pick for this game is the San Jose Sharks. Samuel Ersson may need to start once more for the Flyers.
Due to an illness, Felix Sandstrom (1-6-1; 3.37 GAA;.888 SV%) is uncertain, but even if he plays, I would pick the Sharks to win handily.
Both San Jose and Philadelphia are having trouble stopping the opposition, and the Flyers’ defense was severely hampered by Carter Hart’s absence. The special teams of the Sharks might also make a big impact.
In recent years, San Jose dominated Philadelphia. The Flyers, who lost 11 of their past 12 games on the road, also lost all eight of their previous meetings with the Sharks. The San Jose Sharks will win to a predicted score of 4-3.
