Colorado at Philadelphia

Philadelphia beat Ottawa 3-1 on Saturday for its first win of the season, in its tenth game. The Flyers are 1-6-3 with 14 goals so far, 1.4 per game, last in the league and 0.6 below Los Angeles, the next-lowest. They are outshot 32.9 to 21.2 per game and have allowed 3.3 goals a game, with four or more in four of their ten games, including seven to Pittsburgh. Colorado has scored 36 goals in eight games, 4.5 per game, second only to Edmonton. Four of its five wins came by three goals or more, and it outshoots opponents 30.8 to 26.0 per game. Philadelphia has faced 37 power plays in ten games, and Colorado has scored on 6 of 29 chances with the man advantage. Colorado has allowed three or more goals in half of its eight games. I’m laying the price with Colorado on the moneyline tonight, against a club that has scored two or fewer goals in nine of its ten games.
