Philadelphia at Arizona

The Philadelphia Flyers have had the luxury of playing 12 of their first 19 on home ice and just five road games since opening with two on the road – both wins. They have not played well since on the road and have been out-scored by three goals and are allowing better than three per contest. They are now in a situation that has not been kind to them and that is playing for the third time in four days. They have not done well, losing their last five in that situation. It is also their fourth game in six days, where they are 16-35. The Coyotes are coming up big in the underdog role at 11-5 in their last 16. This dog has a bite, and I'll back Phoenix here.
