San Jose Sharks vs Philadelphia Flyers Prediction

I’m on the Sharks here. The history between these two teams has basically gone down like a lot of close games, and the Sharks have been able to pull out the odd result here and there. The Flyers aren’t playing well enough or consistently enough for me to want to lay this kind of price on the road with them. San Jose has played their better hockey at home up to this point in the year and I think that they’re live in this matchup. Give me San Jose in this one.
