Philadelphia at Ottawa

Both teams are in desperate need of a win, but Philadelphia has the edge in net as Carter Hart is having a great season so far in spite of the Flyers' recent troubles. Hart is 5-0-2 with a 2.10 goals-against average and he comes off a heartbreaking 1-0 overtime loss to the New York Rangers on Tuesday when he stopped 35 shots through OT. Ottawa has lost four in a row following a 5-4 defeat at home against Vegas on Thursday even though it outshot the Golden Knights 46-33. Anton Forsberg allowed all five goals and Cam Talbot is expected to make his first start for the Senators tonight. Ottawa is 1-8 dating to last season after giving up at least five goals its previous game. The Flyers lost 5-2 to Toronto on Wednesday, but Felix Sandstrom was the goalie that night. Look for Philadelphia to have better luck with Hart and play the Flyers as a Max Play.
