Penguins vs Flyers Betting Prediction

There were seven goals scored in the first game, but this game is going to be different. The Flyers overall is averaging 2.92 goals per game and they are going to really struggle to get the offense going in this game. Look for the Penguins' offense to also struggle against a Flyers defense that is giving up 2.88 goals per game. Both offenses are going to struggle here and the under is going to cash.
