Philadelphia Flyers vs Carolina Hurricanes Prediction

The Flyers have been good on the road this season so I wouldn’t write them off just yet but they’ve lost 3 of their last 4 games and the offense has disappeared. The Flyers are averaging 1.25 goals in their last four games. It’s just not going to get it done. The Hurricanes have also now won 9 of the last 10 games against the Flyers and have feasted offensively in every game. The Canes have scored 3 or more goals in 9 of the last 10 games against the Flyers. The Hurricanes are the Flyers’ daddy until proven otherwise. Give me the Canes and the PL for max betting value.
