The Flyers are 16-46 in their last 62 road games and 46-98 in their last 144 overall. The Blues are 3-8 in their last 11 home games and 1-4 in their last 5 Tuesday games. The over is 7-3 in Flyers last 10 overall. The over is 41-16-6 in Blues last 63 overall. The over is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings in St. Louis and 3-1-1 in the last 5 meetings.
Two teams that have nothing to play for and have no reason to show up here. I’m not eager to back either side. With that said, the St. Louis Blues are at home, and that’s about the only edge you can be excited about. The Philadelphia Flyers have been dreadful on the road dating back to last season. It’s Blues or pass because of the home ice.
