Stars at Flyers 10/19/19 - NHL Picks & Predictions

Dallas is struggling on the year and playing in back to back nights against what has shaped up to be 2 decent teams does not help the Stars. What really did not help the Stars is the loss they had against the Blue Jackets. That was a game that the Stars defense played extremely sloppy and allowed some Blue Jackets goals that should have been stopped fairly quickly and easily, but the Stars were not able to step up to the ice.

Roope Hintz has ended up being the leading scorer for the Stars with 4 goals and 5 points overall. Alexander Radulov is the leader when it comes to assist as he has managed to get 3 assist on the year. Ben Bishop is seeming to have an off year for his normal play. He has allowed 2.84 goals a game, but has saved 89.9% of the shots that have been sent towards him.

The Flyers had a really good start to the year. However, since winning the opening 2 games of the year the Flyers have dropped 3 games. Those games were not even the ones that the Flyers had a good chance of winning on the year and definitely had some issues looking like they could be seen as a threat, but also showed the defensive shortcomings in the games for the Flyers who allowed the Oilers to get a total of 6 goals.

This year the Flyers have relied on Travis Konecny for the scoring as he has 3 goals, 4 assist and leads the Flyers in points at 7. Carter Hart has managed to pick up the 2 wins for the Flyers in net with only 2.46 goals allowed per game, but has saved 90.4% of the shots that have come towards him this year.
