Premium NHL Pick : November 20 #2

Philadelphia Flyers @ San Jose:

Philadelphia Flyers have been on a run and they have gone 6-1 in their last 7 games. They will try to build on this record tonight against a San Jose Sharks team who are the best team in the NHL right now. Sharks are 14-5-4 this season but they have lost two in a row on road, first one in Chicago and the second one in Nashville two nights ago. They have rested for two days.

The last time Sharks played at the HP PAVILION they lost to the Dallas Stars. All goals that night came on even strength as the Sharks killed off five Dalls Stars powerplays but failed to score on three powerplays themselves either.

You can blame it all on fatigue as Sharks played five games in seven days in that span and they only won 2 out of 5. After taking two nights off, Sharks should feel well rested tonight.

Flyers are coming off a win in LA after beating the New Jersey Devils with the same score 3-2.

Flyers rookie Riemsdyk has been amazing in the last three games as the young player scored game winning goals in all three.

Sharks won't have Rob Blake, Setoguchi and Mitchell today as the Flyers are without Simon Gagne, Asham and Tollefssen.

Some Stats:

San Jose is 5-0 SU in its last 5 games when playing Philadelphia

Philadelphia leads the league in power play goals with 1.2 per game.

San Jose is second in penalty killing in the league at 86.0%.

It will be interesting to see Sharks with such a good penalty kill percentage take on the Flyers with league best record in powerplay goals. Being the best team in the NHL takes more than winning back to back games. It is also about responding to losing streaks. Sharks have lost two in a row and I believe they will come out big tonight and beat the Flyers at the HP Pavilion.
