Anthony Stolarz (3-5-0, 3.88 GAA, .895 SV%) vs. Samuel Ersson (4-0-0, 2.30 GAA, .924 SV%, 1 SO)

The New Jersey native allowed 4 goals on 41 shots in his most recent start at home against the San Jose Sharks on Jan. 6, a 5-4 win in overtime.

Ducks at Flyers picks and predictions
Prediction
Flyers 5, Ducks 2
Moneyline
The Flyers (-180) are a little on the expensive side. They’re right at my personal limit for a money line play on a standalone bet, but I’d rather take my chances on Philly laying the goal and a half.
PASS.
The FLYERS -1.5 (+135) were roughed up by the Bruins on Monday, but it has 6 wins in the last 8 games, and each of the victories are by 2 or more goals. One of those victories was in the 1st meeting in Anaheim on Jan. 2 behind Ersson, who turned aside 28 of the 29 shots he faced in the 4-1 win.
OVER 6.5 (+105) is a value play at plus-money.
The Over has connected in 5 in a row for the Ducks, while going 5-1 in the last 6 games against Eastern Conference teams. The Over is 10-3 in the last 13 against the Metropolitan Division, too, while going 8-3 in the second end of a back-to-back set.
The Over has hit in 5 in a row at home for the Flyers, while going 3-1-1 in the last 5 games when playing on no rest. The Over is 4-1-2 in the previous 7 meetings in Philadelphia, too.
