San Jose Sharks vs Philadelphia Flyers prediction
The San Jose Sharks continue to pile up the losses, they’re getting rocked defensively, and they’re 6-21-4 on the road this season. The Philadelphia Flyers continue to be hit or miss, but these are games they need to take advantage of at home as they look to close in on a playoff spot. The Sharks are a bottom feeding team that’s worse on the road. Give me the Flyers and the PL for max betting value. I can’t get behind the Sharks in spots like this.
