Flyers vs Penguins Prediction
The Penguins are 2-1 in their three meetings against the Flyers this season, having won their only meeting in Pittsburgh by 6-3 goals. Over is 6-2 in their last 8 meetings.
In this Flyers vs Penguins Prediction, the Penguins are coming as -134 home favorites. The Penguins have been the better team this season but have been struggling lately with a 1-3 record in their last 4 games. On the flip side, the Flyers are coming off a shutout home defeat by the Mammoth that ended their previous three-game winning streak and both teams have been playing only low-scoring games lately, going for a perfect 13-0 to the under in their last 13 games combined. They have scored a total of three goals in their last three games combined, so I expect a low-scoring affair today. Take the under.
