Philadelphia hasn't got its offense going yet, tallying four goals in three games. The Flyers are 3-9 when playing on one day of rest, plus a 19-6-3 run UNDER the total. Philadelphia has a youth movement and they began to turn to defense late last season by slowing the pace down, and note that the Flyers are on a 20-7-1 run UNDER the total at home. They aren't playing good hockey, however, at #26 in goals scored, and #23 in goals allowed. The Flyers are 1-7 following a win and face a powerhouse Chicago team with a winning record, and are the defending champs. Chicago is top 11 in the NHL in both goals scored and allowed, as well as #1 in penalty killing. Patrick Kane and rookie Artemi Panarin each had a goal and two assists as the Blackhawks beat the New York Islanders 4-1 on Saturday. Coach Joel Quenneville put Panarin, Artem Anisimov and Kane together for the Blackhawks' final preseason game and has been delighted with the results so far. The Blackhawks are 10-3 vs. a team with a losing record and the great defense is on a 6-0-1 run UNDER the total. They are also 33-10-8 UNDER the total against the Eastern Conference. Play Chicago and the UNDER.
