My analysis
Philadelphia Flyers winger Travis Konecny is becoming a household name this season. He’s up to 50 points in 43 games, tying him for 11th-most in the NHL. The veteran forward has been even better at home with 29 points in 21 games as opposed to 21 points in 22 games on the road.
Konecny has recorded a point in 29 of 43 games this season, including an assist in the Flyers’ shootout loss in Florida back in November. He’s on a three-game point streak and has a point in five of his last six contests with four goals and five assists in that span.
The Florida Panthers are smack dab in the middle of the pack this season with 3.07 goals against per game. The Flyers have already found the back of the net eight times against them, so we could see another high-scoring affair tonight. And if that occurs, Konecny is likely to get in on the action.
It helps that Konecny is on a power-play unit that is coming off a 2-for-4 performance and has four goals in the last six games after an 0-for-16 stretch.

Flyers moneyline
I’m expecting a high-scoring game, and the Flyers are riding high after one of their best wins of the season.
It’s going to be a tougher test against the reigning Stanley Cup champions, but Philadelphia has the third-best xGF% at 5-on-5 in the last 10 games and has starting goalie Sam Ersson healthy again.
