Philadelphia at Boston

The good news for the Flyers is that their best goalie, Dan Vladar, was back in net last night after missing six games with a lower-body injury. He made 26 saves. The bad news for the Flyers is they lost, 5-3, to the Blue Jackets in Columbus, Ohio and defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen left the game with an upper body injury. Samuel Ersson is likely to be in net for Philadelphia today. There's a big drop off from Vladar to Ersson, who has a 3.39 GAA and .860 save percentage. The Flyers have allowed an average of four goals per game over the past three times Ersson has been in net. Boston has scored three or more goals in 12 of its last 14 games. Morgan Geekie has five goals in his last five games. Geekie has 30 goals on the season. If you discount a 4-0 loss to the Islanders, the Flyers are averaging 3.6 goals a game during their last six games. Travis Konecny is coming off of a hat trick against Columbus. He has seven points in his last five games. Take the OVER.
