Flyers vs Red Wings Prediction
I’m on the Flyers here. I get the case to be made for either side in this game, but I’m on the Flyers because the Red Wings are in free fall right now. The Red Wings went from a team that was in a wild card position for much of the season to a team on the outside looking in thanks to an ice-cold month of March. I think the Flyers keep their run going and get another crucial win here so give me Philadelphia.
