The Calgary Flames and Philadelphia Flyers both tend to play a lower-event, defense-first brand of hockey. My Flames vs. Flyers predictions expect the two sides to lean into that approach in the latter half of a back-to-back.

The Sharks struggle all over the ice, ranking in the Bottom 7 of the league in both expected goals for per 60 minutes (xGF/60) and expected goals against per 60 minutes (xGA/60). Meanwhile, the Detroit Red Wings outrank them in each of those two categories.
