Montreal Canadiens vs Philadelphia Flyers prediction
The Montreal Canadiens continue to have issues on the defensive end, and they're not able to finish games more times than not. However, let's not act like the Philadelphia Flyers are lighting the world on fire, and they've had issues defensively as well as of late. The Flyers also don't make much of a difference at home this season, where they're just 9-8-2 on the year. These are two teams in a serious slump and if forced to pick a side, I'm going to lean toward the plus money. Give me the Habs and the more favorable price if forced to pick.
