The Philadelphia Flyers’ first stop of their three-game road trip begins against the Arizona Coyotes on Thursday.
The Flyers have a 6-2-2 record in their last 10 games against the Coyotes and will look to get their 14th win of the season — and their third straight win.
This game may be a tougher challenge for them than it has been in recent years as the Coyotes aren’t the same basement-dwelling team that they once were. In fact, Arizona has been quite dangerousrecently with five straight wins, all against the last five Stanley Cup winners. It should be a tight game and one of the most surprising games on the busy Thursday slate that may catch peopleby surprise.
Bet: Under 6.0 total goals (-108)
It’s always hard to pick a side when both teams are coming in on hot streaks. Since the start of November, the Coyotes have the second-most home wins with six and rank in the top-10 for fewestgoals-against per game at home (2.78). During that time, the Flyers are tied for first in most road wins with six and are third in fewestagainst goals per game on the road (1.78). Both teams will come out swinging and with how tight the competition is, makes the under feel like a great play.
