James van Riemsdyk leads the Flyers in scoring with 31 points with 13 goals and 8 assists while Jakub Voracek has a team-high 24 points and Joel Farabee leads the Flyers in goals with 14 markers on the year. As a team, Philadelphia is averaging 3 goals per game on 29.4 shots against with a 19.8% success rate on the power play while allowing 3.6 goals per game on 29.1 shots against with a 73.3% kill rate on the penalty kill this season.

Philadelphia is 2-6 in their last 8 games overall and 2-11 in their last 13 games as an underdog while the over is 11-3 in their last 14 games overall. Boston is 1-8 in their last 9 games following a win and 4-1 in their last 5 games played on 1 days’ rest while the under is 12-3-1 in their last 16 games overall. The ove is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between these two teams.

I’ve gone back and forth on this one and the total feels a bit puzzling considering that Boston’s had scoring issues lately. However, the Flyers are allowing 4.4 goals per game in their last 10 games and with a total of 5.5, a goal or two from a capable Flyers team would help push us over this number. I think that’s exactly how Monday’s matchup shakes out, so give me the over in this one.
