New Jersey has a poor defense at #23 in goals allowed, and #20 in penalty killing. They've allowed 32 goals the last nine games and have been worse on the road, surrendering 25 goals the last seven road contests. Philadelphia is weak on defense, as well, at #22 in goals allowed and penalty killing. The Flyers are on a three-game winning streak during which they outscored their opponents 14-7 and captured four in a row at home, including Thursday's 6-3 triumph over the New York Islanders. Philly is 6-2-2 OVER the total against a team with a winning percentage below .400 and the OVER is 5-2-2 when these teams clash. Take the OVER in this one.
