Philadelphia at Pittsburgh

The Penguins return home tonight after an intense, grueling performance against the Red Wings who kept them from the Stanley Cup last season. The Penguins won an emotional 7-6 decision that needed OT to decide. Just a day prior to that emotional win, the Penguins were extended to a shootout against the New York Islanders. It is hard to believe this Penguins team has anything left in the tank for this one, both physically and emotionally, and presents us with a live dog here in the Flyers. The Flyers have rebounded from a dismal start where they failed to record a win in their first six games, but have since been on the plus side in five of eight. Coming off a win over the Islanders, Pittsburgh will be feeling good and focused playing the Stanley Cup runner-up. Live dog here, so I'm backing the Flyers.
