Philadelphia had a rare bad offensive game last time out, a 2-1 OT loss to Tampa. They've had three full days off since and this offense is No. 1 in the NHL in scoring (3.8 goals per game), No. 10 on the power play and even No. 12 in penalty killing - vastly upgrading a weakness from a year ago. That's why the Flyers are 4-1-1 on the road. The Flyers are also 11-4 in their last 15 games as a road favorite of -110 to -150. While Philadelphia is rested, Florida returns home from a two-game trip north of the border, winning both games and coming off a game they were supposed to win at last place Winnipeg. But this team is just 3-4 the last seven games and No. 26 in penalty killing, which will hurt against this Flyers’ up-tempo, attacking offense. The Panthers are 8-18 in their last 26 games as an underdog, 0-7 in their last seven games playing on two days rest and 7-19 in their last 26 home games. The Flyers are also 13-6-1 in the last 20 meetings in Florida. Play on Philadelphia.
