Pick
I’m backing the Penguins on the puck line here. Not an ideal spot for either team to be in on the back-to-back, but the Flyers just got their teeth kicked in by the Sabres and the Penguins are really the only team with anything of substance or consequence to play for in this one and I just feel like they’re going to get a comfortable win here. Give me the Penguins -1.5 here.
