Avalanche vs. Flyers Prediction
I’m going to take a shot on the Flyers here. Philly’s actually playing fairly well right now, and while the Avalanche are a solid team on paper, this team has had plenty of frustrating results this season and is less effective on the road. I’ll side with the Flyers and the plus money here.
