Philadelphia Flyers vs Detroit Red Wings Prediction
I’m not running to the window to back the Red Wings, especially in the favorite role, but the Flyers have lost 12 straight games dating back to last season’s playoffs. The Flyers have been a mess on both sides of the ice and can’t find the back of the net offensively. These are two teams off to bad starts, but there are levels to the suck. The Red Wings should take advantage of this spot at home and if they cant its time to hit the panic button. Give me the Red Wings.
