Calgary Flames vs. Philadelphia Flyers Prediction
I’m on the Flyers in this game. I still have a hard time trusting the Calgary Flames to win games on the road, and I think the Flyers are just in one of those grooves right now where this team can really do no wrong. The Flyers have been able to provide value, especially at home since the Four Nations break, beating Pittsburgh and Edmonton in their two home games by a combined score of 12-4. I think Philadelphia defends home ice here and gets it done so give me the Flyers in this one.
