Final Thoughts
I am not about to bet against the Philadelphia Flyers on home ice based on what we’ve seen from them so far. The Flyers are playing high-level hockey at home and that should continue in this contest against a Predators team that is being outscored by almost a goal per game on average. I’ll take the Flyers on the moneyline here, but I don’t mind the idea of laying the puckline with them at home either.
