Pick
I’m backing the Devils here. The Flyers just can’t get anything going right now and I don’t see that changing here against a Devils team that’s still one of the best teams in the NHL, sitting 3rd in total points. Philadelphia keeps losing games by multiple goals and I just think that this Flyers team is starting to become a lost cause. Give me the Devils -1.5 here.
