Philadelphia Flyers vs Pittsburgh Penguins Prediction

I really don’t trust either of these offenses and both are going to really struggle to get the offense going here. The Penguins are averaging only 2.97 goals per game while the Flyers are averaging only 3.0 goals per game. The Flyers and Penguins are both going to struggle here, and neither team is going to score more than three goals. Back the under to end up cashing with ease.
