Calgary prefers a slower pace, #12 in the NHL in goals allowed. They come off a 2-1 loss a the New York Islanders as part of a 3-1-1 run UNDER the total. The Flames' offense took a huge blow this week with the announcement that captain Mark Giordano is done for the season. He is tied for top spot in the NHL among defensemen with 48 points. Calgary is 19-7-3 UNDER the total on the road against a team with a winning home record, as well as 5-0 UNDER playing on three or more days of rest. Philadelphia has focused on defense more the last month, on a 6-2 run UNDER the total. It hasn't led to more wins, however, dropping 6 of 10 with an offense ranked #21 in goals scored. The Flyers are 7-1-1 UNDER the total playing on two days rest and 5-2 UNDER at home. And when these teams meet the UNDER is 4-1. Play this one UNDER the total.
