When that great Philadelphia offense is clicking they can beat anybody, ranked No. 2 in the NHL in goals scored and No. 6 on the power play. They gave Pittsburgh all they could handle in Game 1, stealing a 4-3 shootout win despite trailing 3-0. Their confidence is high with the pressure all on the Penguins, who are 0-4 in their last four playoffs games as a favorite. In their 44-year history, the Flyers have never lost a series (17-0) when leading two games to none, so they have plenty to gain. Philadelphia led the NHL with 20 victories when the opponent jumps in front. The Flyers are 8-3 in their last 11 Conference Quarterfinals games. The road team is 16-6 in the last 22 meetings and the Flyers are 6-1 in the last seven meetings in Pittsburgh. The value in this one is with the Flyers to either win the game or lose by one goal, as they have so much firepower to keep this close or come back, as we saw in Game 1. Play the Flyers on the puckline.
