Flyers vs Red Wings Prediction 

Philadelphia comes into this matchup after winning four of their last five games and they are playing some of their best hockey of the season right now. The Flyers are 10-11-1 at home this year, while the Red Wings are 9-10-2 on the road. Detroit has cooled off from that lengthy winning streak and they have allowed at least four goals in three of their last four games. The Red Wings are generating a good amount of shots on goal right now, but their defense and goaltending is an issue. I don’t trust the Detroit defense right now and I think we are going to see plenty of goals. Take the over here.
