Minnesota at Philadelphia

Philadelphia's struggles continue, and they are now compounded by injuries. The Flyers have been grounded over their last eight games, as they have garnered just a single win, by a single goal. Overall in those eight games, Philadelphia has been outscored by their opponents 32-18. They are off a 3-0 shutout loss to Edmonton, and home ice has not advanced their level of play. Philadelphia is 1-5 in their last six on home ice losing by a 23-12 combined score. Minnesota isn't playing well lately but they are far and away the better team here, and they will come in hungry, so I don't expect they will overlook a poor Flyer's team that appears to be playing out the string. Make the play on Minnesota.
