Flyers vs Hurricanes Prediction
The Hurricanes at a cheap price is hard to turn down, as they’re one of the best teams in the league and they’re on a tear with the playoffs around the corner. The Canes also haven’t lost to the Flyers since November 2023. That’s eight straight wins and The Marvels was in theaters back then.
However, the Flyers are playing some of their best hockey of the season and they’ve put themselves in a nice position to snag a playoff spot because of it. There’s still work that needs to be done, but a win here is a giant step toward postseason hockey in Philly. Big game for the Flyers. Not so much for the Hurricanes. I’ll lay on the cheap price.
