Philadelphia Flyers vs Carolina Hurricanes Prediction 

Philadelphia had their small winning streak snapped in their last game against Colorado, but they played great in the last 10 minutes and nearly came back for the win. The Flyers are 4-5-0 at home this year, while the Hurricanes are 6-3-0 on the road. Carolina has won three of their last four games and they continue to be dominant on defense, as they have allowed a total of seven goals in their last four games. I expect the Hurricanes to be strong defensively once again in this matchup and I like the under here.
