Philadelphia is #19 in the NHL in goals scored, and #18 on the power play. But they've won two straight with strong defense, limiting Edmonton to 26 shots on Wednesday in a 4-2 victory. The Flyers are 32-19 UNDER the total away when playing their third game in five nights, plus 21-8-3 UNDER when their opponent allows two goals or less in their previous game. They face a Vancouver squad that is all about defense and a slow pace, fifth in goals allowed and #22 in goals scored. Defenseman Derrick Pouliot was acquired from Pittsburgh in an early-season trade and has made a solid impact. The Canucks have battled their way into a playoff position in the Western Conference by winning three in a row, allowing a total of four goals. Vancouver goalie Jacob Markstrom recorded his first shutout in a 3-0 victory over Carolina the last game and the team is 21-7-3 UNDER the total following a victory. Play the UNDER.
