The top two lines were led by Kevin Hayes, Scott Laughton, and Owen Tippett, who have 58 goals and 78 assists between them, but the rest of the offense was terrible.

Philadelphia Flyers vs Pittsburgh Penguins Predictions 4/2/2023

The Penguins‘ attack stepped up this season, scoring 3.20 goals per game, with 20 goals in the previous six matches, and they put together a solid record.

The top line of Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin has a combined total of 56 goals and 107 assists, but the whole attack was excellent.

86 goals and 83 assists were scored by Jake Guentzel, Rickard Rakell, and Jason Zucker collectively, while Kris Letang contributed 10 goals and 26 assists from the point to help the attack get going.

Although the defense underperformed and is holding them out of playoff place by surrendering 3.23 goals per game, the attack was fantastic.

The defensive point shares of Brian Dumoulin and Pierre-Oliver Joseph combined for 5.7, but the rest of the team failed, enabling opponents to consistently find open attempts on goal.

Goalie Casey DeSmith also had trouble, with a 3.20 goals-against average on 1109 shots with -0.8 goals saved over average and a.904 save percentage.

Philadelphia Flyers vs Pittsburgh Penguins. The NHL pick for this game is the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The Flyers are trying to shock everyone, but I think the Penguins will take control of this game right from the start as they want to push for the playoffs.

Sidney Crosby, Jake Guentzel, and the rest of the forward group should carry the puck into the offensive zone and create open shots with rapid passes for the Penguins, who average 3.20 goals per game, against the Flyers, who permit 3.27 goals per game.

With Brian Dumoulin, Pierre-Oliver Joseph, and the rest of the defense stepping up at the blue line and blocking angles to the net while goalkeeper Casey DeSmith stops the shots on goal, the Penguins should be able to limit the Flyers’ attack, which only scores 2.70 goals per game.

In a convincing victory on their ice, the Penguins ought to win the game and cover the spread. The Pittsburgh Penguins will win to a predicted score of 4-2.
