Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Philadelphia Flyers Prediction
I’m on the Flyers here. The Penguins have just had no answer for Philadelphia in this series and I don’t expect that to change all of a sudden here. The Penguins have just appeared lost, as the Flyers have dictated the pace and physicality of this series so far and I think there’s more of the same here. Give me Philadelphia.
