Philadelphia Flyers vs Vancouver Canucks prediction
The Philadelphia Flyers have some value here in the big underdog role, given that they’ve beaten the Canucks in 3 of the last 4 meetings. However, there’s no betting against the Canucks in their current form, especially at home as they’ve been too consistent over the last month, and they’re 13-3-1 at home overall this season. Only the Rangers have earned bettors more money so far than the Canucks. Give me the Canucks and the PL to shave down the juice.
