The Flyers won their previous meeting against the Sharks this season by 4-1 at home and have won their last four head-to-head matches.

In this Flyers vs Sharks Prediction, the Sharks are coming as -115 home favorites. I’m on the Flyers in this one, as they have been playing very good hockey lately, having a 7-3 record in their last 10 games and are red-hot on the road, with six consecutive road wins. On the flip side, the Sharks are 2-6 in their last 8 games and it looks like they are running out of gas. Take the hotter team to get the job done in this one, so take the Flyers on the moneyline on the road.
