San Jose Sharks vs. Philadelphia Flyers Prediction

I’m on the Flyers in this one. I get the case to be made for the Sharks and the plus money as San Jose’s been able to provide value in spots this season. However, the Sharks have also had issues in spots with getting beat up, and the Flyers have been at their best when they’ve been at home this season and just stood toe-to-toe with one of the NHL’s best in Colorado last time out. I think the Flyers get it done at home here so give me Philly.
