Trends

Chicago is 1-6 in their last 7 games against the Metropolitan and 2-6 in their last 8 Thursday games. The under is 6-0 in Chicago’s last 6 road games. Philadelphia is 4-1 in their last 5 home games and 9-4 in their last 13 Thursday games. The over is 6-0 in Philadelphia’s last 6 home games. The home team is 22-5 in these two teams last 27 head to head meetings.

Pick

Both of these teams come into this game after winning four of their last five games, but the Flyers will have the home ice advantage in this matchup. Chicago has struggled to score goals this season and is only averaging 2.33 goals per game, while Philadelphia is scoring 2.82 goals per game. With neither team scoring a ton of goals, I like the under here.

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
