, and will be looking to tally an eighth straight victory over Philadelphia in Saturday’s matchup at Scotiabank Arena.
The Lightning earned their round robin wins by the narrowest of margins. The team needed a shootout to claim a 3-2 victory over Washington last weekend, and bagged the game-winner with fewer than 90 seconds remaining in a 3-2 win over Boston on Wednesday night. However, Tampa Bay has regularly filled the net during its recent domination of the Flyers, averaging five goals per game over its seven-straight wins.
But with team captain Steven Stamkos sidelined by a lower body injury, the Lightning have struggled to generate offence in the round robin, tallying just five total goals in regulation, scored by five different skaters. Conversely, the Flyers have been getting contributions from across their lineup, a trend they will look to continue when they hit the ice on Saturday as +115 underdogs atsites. With the team’s big guns struggling to produce, role players have stepped up to fill the offensive void. Scott Laughton leads the club with three goals, while Kevin Hayes has recorded four assists.
However, the absence of Stamkos and Voracek, combined with the stellar performances from goaltenders Andrei Vasilevskiy and Carter Hart, has had an impact on the betting total for Saturday’s contest, which is set at +100 to go under 5.5 goals.
