There are seven games scheduled in the National Hockey League on Thursday, February 28. That begins with a Metropolitan Division battle between two teams separated by six points when the Philadelphia Flyers travel to Ohio to take on the Columbus Blue Jackets. In other great action, the Florida Panthers take on the Vegas Golden Knights and the Dallas Stars battle the Los Angeles Kings.

Philadelphia Flyers (+171) vs. Columbus Blue Jackets (-190)

The Philadelphia Flyers enter this game with 67 points, sixth in the division (30-26-7), while the Columbus Blue Jackets are in fifth in the division with 73 points (35-24-3). Philadelphia is 13-14-3 on the road this season while Columbus is 16-14-2 at home. Philadelphia enters the game at 6-3-1 in their last 10 while Columbus is 6-4-0 in their last 10 games.

Goaltending Matchup:

The Flyers will start Brian Elliot in net. Elliot is 8-7-0 this season with a 2.51 goals-against average and a .919 save percentage. He has won his last two starts and has allowed two goals or less in nine of his last 10 appearances. Elliot is 6-2-0 in his last eight decisions.

Sergei Bobrovsky will start for Columbus. Bobrovsky is 26-19-1 this season with a 2.78 goals-against average and a .907 save percentage. Bobrovsky allowed four goals on 26 shots in his last start against Pittsburgh but had back to back shutouts in his two previous starts. The Columbus netminder is 7-3-0 in his last 10 starts.

Hot Trends:

The Philadelphia Flyers are…

5-1 in their last six games on the road.
14-4 in their last 18 games.
2-5 in their last seven games in the division.

The Columbus Blue Jackets are…

4-0 in their last four games against teams with a losing record.
2-6 in their last eight games at home.
8-3 in their last 11 games in the division.

Stat Pack:

Flyers:
Goals For: 2.95
Goals Against: 3.33
Power-Play: 17.2%
Penalty Killing: 76.8%

Blue Jackets:
Goals For: 3.18
Goals Against: 2.97
Power-Play: 15.8%
Penalty Killing: 84.0%

Prediction

The Blue Jackets have dominated Philadelphia of late. They have won 12 of the last 13 in Columbus and have won 19 of the last 26 overall. Plus, the home team has won 20 of the last 29 meetings. We look for those trends to continue and take Columbus to win.

There is a set of opposing trends related to the total. The total is set at 6.5. These two teams have gone under in six of the last seven in Columbus but have gone over in four straight overall. While Bobrovsky did give up four goals in his last start, that was coming off of back to back shutouts. We expect him to regain his form, and Elliott has looked good of late as well. He has allowed just three goals in one of his last 10 appearances. Take Columbus to, 3-2.

Two Games to Watch

Florida Panthers (+188) vs. Vegas Golden Knights (-210)

The Florida Panthers are in sixth in the Atlantic Division with 65 points (28-25-9). Florida is 12-14-4 on the road this season and they are 6-3-1 in their last 10 games. The Vegas Golden Knights are in third in the Pacific Division with 71 points (33-26-5). Vegas is 18-10-4 at home this season and they are 4-5-1 in their last 10 games.

Panthers are 4-1 in their last five games against teams from the Pacific Division.
Golden Knights are 2-6 in their last eight games.
Golden Knights are 2-7 in their last nine games at home.
Roberto Luongo has allowed three goals or less in each of his last five starts.

The New York Islanders host the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night at the Uniondale Coliseum, and it should be looked at as a key Eastern Conference showdown between two top powers with playoff implications. However, all eyes will be focused on John Tavares, who makes his first return to New York after spurning the team in free agency to go play in his hometown of Toronto instead. Fans felt betrayed, and have even taken to social media to post asinine videos which, for all intents and purposes, are likely ignored by the star. However, the fans will have a voice inside the arena when Tavares skates against the team, and things could get really interesting when the organization shows a video tribute reflecting on Tavares' nine years in New York.

As far as the game itself is concerned, the Leafs are playing in the fourth game of a 4-in-6 (four games in six days) situation. In the fourth game they have excelled in the situation, going 8-0 in the past eight tries. They're also 6-0 in the past six road games against a team with a winning home mark, and 6-2 overall in the past eight against winning sides. For the Isles, they're 8-2 across the past 10 home games, while going 22-10 in the past 32 games overall. Toronto has won four of the past five in this series, although the home team is 6-2 in the past eight meetings, and the favorite has hit in six of the past seven. The 'over' is 10-2 in the past 12 meetings in New York, and 39-19-2 in the past 60 meetings overall.

Tampa Bay at Boston: The Lightning have rolled up 41 victories in the past 52 games overall, and they're 41-11 in the past 52 games as a favorite, too. Boston could have an advantage facing the Lightning since Tampa just played last night, as they're 5-1 in the past six games playing on no rest. They have also won 39 of the past 56 games on the road, too. For the Bruins, they have won eight of the past nine games overall, while going 4-0 in the past four working on one day of rest. They have also tossed up 44 wins in the past 62 at home, but they're just 2-5 in the past seven against Eastern Confernce foes. Tampa is 9-29-3 in the past 41 trips to Boston, but they're 5-0 in the past five meetings in this series. The favorite is also 25-11 in the past 36. The under is 3-1-1 in the past five battles in Beantown, while the under is 7-2-2 in the past 11 in the series.

Vancouver at Arizona: The Canucks limp into Arizona with just one win in the past five outings, while going 2-5 in the past seven against Western Conference foes, too. They're also 1-4 in the past five road contests against teams with a losing overall mark. Arizona has actually rattled off four wins in a row, and they're 6-0 in the past six against losing teams. They have also come away with victories in four of the past five at home. Vancouver has won just once in the past six in this series, and they're 1-4 in the past five trips to Arizona. The under is 13-2-1 in the past 16 skates in Glendale, too.
