Boston is 4-0 in these two teams last 4 head to head meetings.

Pick

Boston comes into this game on a five game winning streak and is the best team in the NHL, while Philadelphia has lost six games in a row and has been out scored by a total of 27-12 in those six losses. Both teams will be on the second game of a back to back, so we may see some tired legs on both sides. These two teams are trending in opposite directions and as long as Boston can stay focused, they should have no issues getting a two goal win.
