Philadelphia at Columbus

Philadelphia has gone 9-2-1 to close within a point of eighth-place Detroit with a game in hand. The Flyers are now just three back of the New York Islanders for the first Wild Card after Monday's 4-1 win in Brooklyn that opened a critical four-game trip. Philadelphia is averaging 3.42 goals per game during its 12-game run, with eight players scoring three or more over that span. Last place Columbus is #21 in goals scored and #29 in goals allowed. The Blue Jackets are 2-9 against the Metropolitan Division, so grab the hot and motivated dog and play Philadelphia.
