Arizona at Philadelphia

Off a loss to Carolina, the Phoenix Coyotes continue their four-game road trip in Philly tonight. The Flyers have righted the ship after a slow start and have won their last three. The problem they have had is sustaining winning hockey. They opened winless in six, followed by four straight without a loss, then won just one of five and now have dropped just one of their last four. They are a very difficult team to back because they are up and down and not for lengthy periods. It offers value to the Coyotes’ side, which has beaten the Flyers in their only game in each of the past two years. I am not sure if the Flyers should be this strong a favorite with their erratic play, so I'll play on the Coyotes here.
