Lightning at Flyers 2/19/19 - NHL Picks & Predictions

The Lightning are playing in back to back games here and that means they will be tired as the Blue Jackets are not a team to take lightly. What this also means is the Lightning will most likely have their back up goalie in the net to start the game off and that means the Flyers will have a chance to score against a goalie that is rested, but not tested as much as what the team would have liked.

The Lightning are coming into this game with Nikita Kucherov leading the scoring charge with 94 points overall and 67 assist. What is really interesting is the goal leader for the Lightning is Brayden Point who has managed to get a total of 33 goals on the year so far. The Flyers have started to bounce back from the early season problems they had, but even then the Flyers have a long way to go for them to be seen as a serious threat on the year. What has started to make some changes is the philosophy and the atmosphere around Philadelphia as the team has made changes at the top and that is going to be a change the Flyers would like to build upon here.

Claude Giroux is the player who is leading the Flyers with the overall scoring on the year with a total of 61 points. When it comes to the assist Giroux leads that category as well with 44 assist on the season. The Flyers have managed to get 24 goals from Sean Couturier on the season.
