Philadelphia Flyers vs San Jose Sharks Prediction
The Sharks have a better chance at a playoff spot but that hasn’t stopped them from losing games. At some point the Sharks have to show me something. It’s probably too little too late for the Flyers, but they’ve been on fire over the last two weeks and now run into a Sharks side they’ve won four straight games against. The Flyers have outscored the Sharks 8-1 in the last two meetings. I have to back the team in the better form. Give me the Flyers and the cheap price.
