Columbus will look to keep playing well on both sides of the puck.
The Philadelphia Flyers are 33-37-10 and are last in the Metropolitan Division. Philly has the second-worst record in the Eastern Conference but has been involved in several close games recently. All they can do now is try to play spoiler to the Blue Jackets' playoff hopes.

Blue Jackets vs Flyers Predictions and Picks
The Blue Jackets battle the Flyers in this Metropolitan Division showdown. Columbus is 6-4 in its last ten games and has a goal differential of -3. Scoring has been trending upward, and they just defeated the Washington Capitals in back-to-back games. The Blue Jackets rank 10th in scoring but fall into the lower tier in special teams performance.
In their last game, they beat the Capitals on the road 4-1. Columbus gave up the first goal early but slowly took control from there. The Blue Jackets scored in every period, and Adam Fantilli was named the first star with two goals. Despite being outshot, outhit, and losing the faceoff battle, Columbus found a way to win with solid defense and goaltending.
The Flyers are 5-3-2 in their last ten games and have the third-worst goal differential in the conference at -44. Recently, Philadelphia has experienced a bit of everything; two of their last games went to overtime and shootouts, with a mix of low-scoring losses and high-scoring wins. The Flyers rank in the lower tier for both scoring and special teams.
In their last game, Philadelphia lost to the Ottawa Senators on the road 4-3 in overtime. The Flyers led three times but ended up with a tough-luck loss. Philly outshot Ottawa 32-25 and excelled at blocking shots, but turned the puck over too often. The Flyers will look to protect their leads better with improved power play production and stronger third-period play.
Best Bet: Over
This will be an interesting game. The Blue Jackets are playing well and making a push for the final playoff spot. It's the Flyers' final home game of the season, and they've won four straight on home ice; some of them high-scoring affairs. Columbus is coming off a strong defensive performance on the road, but they might struggle to replicate that against a team with nothing to lose.
