Philadelphia Flyers vs Colorado Avalanche Prediction

The Philadelphia Flyers have not only lost four of their last five games, but they’ve scored one or fewer goals in four of those games. The Flyers have been shut out in back-to-back games. It’s just hard to side with the Flyers given this offense that’s stuck in the mud, especially on the road. The Colorado Avalanche have been hit or miss as of late, but they’re still the more trustworthy team overall, and they’ve won seven of the last 10 games against the Flyers. The Avs have also exploded at times offensively recently, scoring five or more goals in three of their last seven games. I’m rolling with the Avs at home. Of course, I’ll lay the PL as well to shave the price.
