Panthers at Flyers picks and predictions
Prediction
Panthers 4, Flyers 3
Moneyline
Florida is 4-1-0 over its last 5 road tilts. The Panthers are 17-8-1 on 1-day rest.
Bobrovsky has yielded just 6 even-strength goals over his last 4 games and across December-January has rallied after an unimpressive start to his season. The Panthers offense has found its way to 76 shots on goal in its last 2 games and to 33-plus shots in 5 of the club’s last 8 games.
And this matchup features a dangerous road power play against a Philadelphia unit which has scuffled at home.
BET FLORIDA (-165).
Puck line/Against the spread
No interest: PASS.
Over/Under
The Over has cashed in the last 2 series meetings and in 6 of the last 9.
Both clubs have been filing more 5-on-5 high-danger looks in recent games, and both have spent more time in the penalty box as well. Peg this one with a slight lean toward an OVER 6 (-110).
