Philadelphia Flyers vs Nashville Predators Game Predictions and keys to the game.
The Philadelphia Flyers go toe-to-toe with the Nashville Predators for the second and last time tonight at Wells Fargo Center. In the first meeting between the two teams the Predators won in overtime by a score of 3-2.
The Flyers are on a current three game winning streak. There have been some health questions recently as several players have been in and out of the lineup battling illnesses.
Most notably Carter Hart has been one of these players. There is a good chance that even if he isn't too sick to be scratched that Samuel Ersson will get the start regardless. There should be a clearer sense of what is happening closer to game time.
Keys to the Game
The most important thing for the Flyers long term success will be to consistently bring their hard work ethic to every game - tonight is no different. They are facing a high-powered offense with the Predators. They also have a world class goaltender in Juuse Saros who stops more pucks than your average bear.
Last game they out-shot the Predators by a 39-22 margin. They will need to do the same tonight. However, they need to get more bodies in front of the net creating screens to make it harder for him to stop the puck.
Ersson is on a nice run of late. He's played three straight games for the Flyers only allowing five goals on 89 shots over that span of time. That works out to a .943 save percentage. Every time he plays he settles down as the game progresses - the key for him will be to get locked in early.
