Colorado Avalanche vs. Philadelphia Flyers Prediction

I’m on the Avalanche in this one. I get the case to be made for a home underdog in spots and Philly may have some confidence after their first win of the year. The problem here is that the Avalanche are just so much the better team in this matchup and even on a back-to-back, I just don’t think that the Flyers are built to take advantage of any facet of this matchup and compete. Give me Colorado big here.
