Flyers 4, Penguins 2
Money line (ML)
The FLYERS (-105) come in with the winning streak, have at least a small edge in the goaltending battle and are 2-0 against the rival Pens this season with an 11-5 lead in total goals.
Rest is equal with both teams last playing Sunday; Pittsburgh was shut out 2-0 by the Islanders and Philly blanked the Sabres 3-0.
The Flyers remain at the bottom of the league in 5-on-5 Corsi For percentage (46.61) and scoring chances for (47.87) but they have the talent up front to be opportunistic on offense. Back Philly for a modest road upset.

Additionally, the Penguins are 0-4 in their last four outings when playing their third game in four days and the Flyers are 4-0-1 in that same situation.
