Sunday Clash Between Boston Bruins And Philadelphia Flyers
when the Boston Bruins take on the Philadelphia Flyers.
Two of the top teams in the Eastern Conference square off on Sunday when the Boston Bruins meets the Philadelphia Flyers.
With Boston at 15-1 and Philadelphia at 8-1, NHL odds have both teams among the favorites to win the Stanley Cup.
Only seven points behind the Flyers who are in first place currently, Boston sits in third place in the Eastern Conference. By only six points Boston also trails Washington for second place. Boston would love to catch either team ahead of it in the standings to secure that home ice as this tight race among the three division leaders means home ice throughout the playoffs is still up for grabs.
Both Boston and Philadelphia need to make sure they win their respective divisions first while both teams would love to beat each other out for first place overall in the Conference. Philadelphia is only five points up on the Penguins with ten games remaining as they are being pressed by a red hot Pittsburgh team that has gone 6-2-2 in its last ten games. Even though the Boston Bruins has two games in hand, for now they are only three points ahead of rival Montreal. The Bruins appear to have an easier road to securing the division title with these extra two games.
As both teams will use this game as a measuring stick to determine what they need to correct heading into the playoffs hockey fans can expect a hard fought contest this Sunday. Both squads will be playing their hardest to figure out which is the best way to beat each other come playoff time with a good chance these two teams will meet again sometime this spring.
