St. Louis Blues vs Philadelphia Flyers Prediction
The St. Louis Blues and the plus money are worth a look simply because they've been the better team up to this point. The Philadelphia Flyers have serious defensively and have killed bettors pockets over the last week or so. With that said, the Flyers are better than what they've shown, and it's probably only a matter of time before they turn things around. The Flyers defense can't possibly be any worse. At home, we're not getting enough bang for our buck on the Blues. Give me the Flyers to get a much-needed win.
