Philadelphia Flyers vs Minnesota Wild Prediction
I’m on the Wild here. I just want no part of the Flyers in their current form, as they can’t get out of their own way and the losses keep on piling up. The Wild are a team that I had pegged incorrectly coming into the year as I thought their goaltending would be an issue, but Minnesota’s stepped up to the plate and have been racking up wins left and right, so give me the Wild for another W here.
