Flyers vs Devils Betting Prediction
Philadelphia had their four game winning streak snapped in their last game in Toronto, but they were able to get a point with the overtime loss. The Devils have dealt with more than a few injuries this season and they have been inconsistent, but they have picked up at least one point in three of their last four games. This will be a great game to watch, as I always love to watch the outdoor games, but I think we are getting good value on the Flyers. Philadelphia has played great since the All-Star break and New Jersey’s defense has been below average. Take the Flyers here.
