Hurricanes vs Flyers Prediction
It’s not easy to beat the same team in back-to-back nights, but the Canes just beat the Flyers where they play their best hockey and now get them at home. The Hurricanes have won 7 straight games against the Flyers, not losing in this series since November 2023. The Flyers have played back-to-back overtime games and now have to go on the road. Not ideal for fresh legs.
The Flyers aren’t the same team on the road as they are at home. The Canes are starting to show signs of returning to the dominant force we know they’re capable of being. Give me the home team and the PL for max betting value.
