Panthers vs Flyers Prediction
I’m on the Panthers here. The Flyers have been competitive on the road in spots, but the Florida road trip is one of the tougher ones to make in the NHL, and the Flyers were just dominated by the Lightning in that game. Now they have to take on a Panthers team that’s starting to find their groove, and I think Florida takes advantage here. Give me the Panthers in this one.
