Matchup Breakdown

Philadelphia Flyers Outlook

The Flyers have been steady, winning seven of their last 11 and competing hard in a 3-2 loss to Colorado. Sean Couturier scored on his 33rd birthday in his 900th career game, while Travis Konecny added his second straight goal. Philadelphia has not lost consecutive regulation games since early November and has dominated recent matchups against San Jose, winning four of the last five.

San Jose Sharks Outlook

San Jose rebounded from a 4-1 loss to Dallas with a 4-1 win over Carolina. Alex Nedeljkovic made 28 saves, while Macklin Celebrini had a goal and two assists. Collin Graf, John Klingberg, and Alexander Wennberg also scored. Yaroslav Askarov is expected to return in net Tuesday. The Sharks remain inconsistent, going 5-7-0 in their last 12 games, but showed signs of growth in their latest victory.

Key Matchup / Path to Victory

Philadelphia’s consistency versus San Jose’s volatility is the key storyline. The Flyers must continue to generate balanced scoring, while the Sharks need Askarov to stabilize the crease and Celebrini to drive offense. Special teams and discipline could tilt the outcome.

Best Bets and Prediction

Projected Final Score: Philadelphia 4, San Jose 2

  • Pick: Philadelphia -1.5. The Flyers’ consistency and home-ice advantage should carry them past San Jose.
  • Total: Under 6.0. Philadelphia’s defensive structure and San Jose’s inconsistency point to a modest total.

Expect Philadelphia to continue its strong form, with Konecny and Couturier leading the way against a Sharks team still searching for stability.
