Chicago Blackhawks vs Philadelphia Flyers Prediction

The Blackhawks are a young, feisty team that continues to compete and run into a win here and there, so I’m not mad at the plus money. However, the Flyers are playing their best hockey of the season with an improved effort defensively and they’ve quietly improved their playoff chances. It’s still probably too little too late but this recent stretch has been impressive. Against a Blackhawks team that’s still a year or two away, this is another chance to snag important points. I’ll ride the hot hand and side with the Flyers in what’s a must-win game at home.
