Key Trends

The first two games of this series both went under the total, with five combined goals in Game 1 and just three in Game 2. This continues a recent trend for the Flyers, as each of their last four games have failed to surpass the total.

With Dan Vladar in net, the under has hit in 60% of games this season when he's the starting goalie. The under has also hit in 61% of the Flyers home games this season.

The Penguins have gone under in three of their last four games following a defeat. No player from either team is forecasted to average more than 0.43 goals, pointing to another low-scoring affair.
