Boston Bruins vs Philadelphia Flyers Prediction
The Boston Bruins aren’t lighting the world on fire, so seeing them as this big of a favorite is a bit surprising. However, the Flyers remain a mess defensively and have allowed 4 or more goals in 7 of their last 8 games. The Bruins have played their best hockey at home this season, and they’ve won 7 of the last 8 games against the Flyers. Six of those seven wins were decided by two or more goals. I’ll side with the Bruins, and of course, I’ll take the PL to shave down the expensive price.
