Canadiens vs Flyers Prediction
The Flyers are having a strong week with three straight wins, and they beat the Habs a little over a week ago, but it’s all too little too late. The Flyers are all but out of the playoff race, and they’re on the road here, where they’ve won just 12 times. The Canadiens have earned points in seven of their last 10 games, and they control their own destiny in terms of the playoffs.
The Habs have seen 20 of their 36 wins come on their home ice. The Canadiens have scored four or more goals in their last four games against the Flyers. This game is more important to the Canadiens. Give me the home team and the PL for max betting value.
