Philadelphia at Detroit

Philadelphia is terrible on a road (2-6-1) because of a bad defense at #22 in goals allowed and #30 in penalty killing. The Flyers are averaging 2.1 goals per contest on the road, down considerably from the 3.5 they post at home. The Flyers are 8-21 on the road against a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. Philadelphia is 0-4-1 in its last five on the road and are playing against a Detroit club that is 7-2-2 at Joe Louis Arena. The Detroit Red Wings' potent power play is a big reason for the team's strong play over the last nine contests (5-2-2). When these teams meet the home team is a sizzling 19-2, including the Flyers going 2-10 in the last 12 meetings in Detroit. Clearly only one way to go in this one - take Detroit.
