Panthers vs Flyers Betting prediction
Both teams are playing on tired legs and that is going to hurt the offense. The Panthers defense is elite, giving up only 2.42 goals per game, and they are going to really step up in this game. The Flyers might not even find the back of the net once here. The Panthers’ offense also isn’t going to be that good, and this game is going to be lower scoring. Back the under. This is a strong play here.
