Prediction
The home team has won 22 of the last 28 meetings between these two teams, but Philadelphia has won four of the last five. Clearly, Detroit gave Philadelphia scare on Saturday, but the Flyers are red-hot right now. No doubt they will be flying high and want to play well in front of their new goaltender, so expect Philadelphia to take charge of this game early on their way to victory.
The total has gone under in four of the last five in Detroit, and Philadelphia has gone under in nine of their last 13 on the road. Detroit has gone under in seven of their last nine overall and have gone under in five of their last six at home. We see a lull after a big offensive showcase on Saturday, so take Philadelphia to win 4-1.
