Philadelphia at Arizona

A pair of strong offenses and weak defenses clash in the desert. Philadelphia has been on a roll offensively during a 12-3-3 run, averaging 3.39 goals -- much higher than its season average of 2.6. Claude Giroux has led the charge with goals in three straight games to give him 21 to go with 41 assists on the season. The Flyers are 13-4-6 OVER the total playing on one day of rest. The defense, though, is in the middle of the pack and Flyers' goalie Steve Mason is 5-8 with a 2.95 GAA against the Coyotes in his career. Phoenix is terrible on defense, #27 in goals allowed and #25 in penalty killing. The OVER is 7-3-3 when the Coyotes face the Metropolitan Division. Goalie Mike Smith has gone 0-6-1 with a 4.90 GAA in his last seven starts against Philadelphia for Tampa Bay and Arizona. and this shapes up as an offensive show. Play this one to finish OVER the total.
