Ottawa Senators vs. Philadelphia Flyers Prediction
I’m on the Senators here. It’s been no real secret this season that the Senators have played their best hockey at home, but they’re at least winning games right now. The Flyers on the other hand are on a fast track in the other direction and are starting to watch their playoff hopes go up in smoke. I think the Flyers continue to struggle here and the Senators nab themselves another win in this one. Give me Ottawa here.
