Colorado Avalanche vs Philadelphia Flyers Prediction
The Avalanche should be favored as they’ve been the best team in hockey and have won 7 of the last 10 games against the Flyers. However, the Avs are on the end of a back to back and will play an early start on the East Coast. Not ideal for a team on a west coast body clock. The Flyers have had several days off and are at home, where 9 of their 15 wins have come. The Flyers have been rolling offensively and have won 7 of their last 10 games. I’ll take a stab with the Flyers and the plus money.
