Flyers vs Flames Prediction
I’m on the Flyers here. Philadelphia took one on the chin on Saturday, but overall this season they’ve still been playing well at home and I think this is a nice bounce back spot even on the second half of a back-to-back. Calgary’s just had no answers for anything this season as this team can’t keep the puck out of the net, can’t score, and just can’t do anything right at this moment. I think we’re getting an excellent price with the Flyers, and I’ll take it here. Give me Philadelphia.
