Philadelphia is focused on playing better defense, on a 10-6 run UNDER the total. This is the start of an eight-game road trip, and the Flyers are 3-1 UNDER the total their last four away games where the offense struggles. The UNDER is also 5-2-1 when the Flyers face the Western Conference. They face a defensive-minded Winnipeg team that slows the pace down, ranked fourth in the NHL in goals allowed, though 23rd in goals scored. But it works as Winnipeg seeks a third consecutive victory as it completes a four-game homestand. The UNDER is 7-3 when the Jets play the Eastern Conference. They come off a 2-1 win over Boston as new defenseman Jay Harrison chipped in, acquired by the Jets in a trade with Carolina on Thursday. When these teams meet, the UNDER is 3-1-1, and this has all the makings of a defensive battle. Play Philadelphia/Winnipeg UNDER the total.
