Our Flyers vs. Lightning Pick and Predictions
Goalies make a difference in hockey and the Flyers tend to have an advantage here. But with the 2-headed scorers in Tampa Bay of Stamkos and St Louis they more than make up the difference. Home teams tend to get the odds in the NHL and this is no difference as Moneyline shows the Flyers at +111. Our prediction is to take the Flyers and their #1 offensive rating and they win on the road at Tampa Bay.
