Philadelphia at Pittsburgh

Philadelphia in the playoffs have continued what they did in the regular season - score a lot while playing mediocre defense. They averaged 3.1 goals per game in the regular season and they ahve boosted that up to 3.6 during the playoffs. They have allowed 2.8 per game in the post-season which equals their average during the regular season. The Penguins will certainly have success against this defense as Pitt is scoring 3.4 per game in the playoffs. The Flyers are 21-10 OVER the past two seasons vs. good teams (those out-scoring their opponents by 0.3+ goals per game). They are 17-9 OVER in their last 18 vs. high-scoring teams (those averaging 2.9+ goals per game). We like offense to prevail here leading to 6+ goals.
