Canadiens vs. Flyers Prediction

I’m going to lean towards the over here. Both teams broke out offensively on Saturday, and Fedotov’s had a rough go at it in three starts so far this season. Cayden Primeau hasn’t been much better in fairness, and I think both teams take advantage of backup goaltending on the other side for the over to hit here.
