Tampa Bay Lightning vs Philadelphia Flyers Prediction
The Flyers have played their best hockey on their home ice this season and are worth a look in the underdog role. The problem is the Lightning are in one of those grooves they typically find at least once every season. Everything works and the wins just pile up. The Lightning have won 3 of the last 5 games against the Flyers, and all 3 of those wins were shutouts. The Flyers haven’t scored a goal against the Lightning since March 2025. Possible letdown spot after the win over the Avs, but I’m still rolling with the Lightning given this impressive winning stretch. They’re just more trustworthy.
