Flyers vs Blue Jackets Prediction

The Flyers may be out to play spoiler and are playing their last home game, so there’s some motivation to put one last effort together. The Flyers have also seen 20 of their 33 wins come at home. However, the Blue Jackets are playing some of their best hockey of the season, and they’re still in the wild card race. With a defensive effort that’s stepped up tremendously during this stretch, it’s hard to turn down the Blue Jackets and the cheap price. Give me the team that’s hot and still playing for something.
