Devils vs Flyers prediction

I’m not running to the window to back a Flyers team that’s fallen off like big mac toppings and is 2-6-2 in their last 10 games. However, the Devils have nothing to play for at this point and despite the constant losses lately, the Flyers are still alive in the playoff race. This time of year, motivation is key, and there are no excuses the Flyers can’t get up for this one and keep their season alive. The Devils do have 21 wins on the road this season, but I’m still going to lean toward the Flyers in this one because of the playoff implications.
