Philadelphia is 0-5-3 and has scored 10 goals in eight games, the fewest in the league. Detroit is 1-3-2 and ranks 28th in goals per game. Travis Konecny is on injured reserve for the Flyers, and J.T. Compher is on injured reserve for the Red Wings. The Flyers have allowed four or more goals in four of their eight games, 3.75 a game overall, the eighth-most in the league, and Dan Vladar has stopped 87.5% of the shots he has faced in four starts. Rasmus Ristolainen is on injured reserve, and Cam York is out, which leaves Philadelphia without two defensemen. Detroit has allowed 19 goals in six games, 3.17 per game, and the dispute with Simon Edvinsson hasn't moved. Detroit has scored 3 or more goals in three of its last four games. Its last three home games produced 8 goals against Ottawa, 9 against Seattle, and 9 against New Jersey in overtime, so I’m taking the OVER tonight.
