Canucks vs. Flyers Prediction
I’m on the over here. I just don’t trust the goaltending on either side in this game, but both sides have shown an ability to rack up the goals when they’ve had to and when the defense on the other side is just as susceptible. I think that we could easily see a 4-3 game at the very least, so give me the over in this one.
