Flyers vs Predators Prediction 

Philadelphia comes into this matchup on a two-game winning streak, and they have scored a total of 13 goals in those two wins. The Flyers are 18-19-1 at home this year, while the Predators are 9-22-5 on the road. Nashville has lost seven of their last nine games, and they have scored two goals or fewer in all seven of those losses. Philadelphia’s biggest issue is their defense, as they are allowing 3.45 goals against per game, but I have very little faith in this Nashville offense on the road. Take the Flyers to win at home.
