Philadelphia comes into this matchup playing very well over the last two weeks and they are making a push in the playoff race. The Flyers are 15-11-8 at home this year, while the Blue Jackets are 17-14-4 on the road. Columbus has won four of their last five games and even though they were shutout in their last game, they have scored at least five goals in three of their last four. Both teams are playing well right now, but I am going to back Philadelphia on home ice.
