Pick
I’m backing the Flyers here. This isn’t a game I’m rushing to back considering that these are two teams that are basically playing out the string, but the thing here is that the Flyers have been playing slightly better and have been winning games more frequently while the Red Wings have been on a downturn for the better part of the last month. There’s just no value for me in backing the Red Wings at slight plus money, so I’ll take the Flyers in this one.
