If you missed the team brawl with a minute left in the last game between these two, then you missed the first chapter in what’s likely to be a true hockey war that will play out over the next few weeks. 15 penalties were handed out in the aftermath and both coaches subsequently received fines. For teams who’ve already clinched playoff berths, there’s still a lot on the line between these two.
Saturday’s season finale could be a game that determines home ice advantage for a first-round playoff series between these two as the four- and five-seeds in the East. Don’t expect either team to lay an egg in this game, as it will set the tone for the best-of-seven series to follow.
Pittsburgh is entering the playoffs with 9/2 odds to win the Stanley Cup – the best in the NHL – while Philadelphia’s NHL futures are set at 13/1. Bet on the NHL now.
