Flyers vs Blackhawks Predictions and Picks
"I'm on the Flyers in this one. I know it's a back-to-back for Philly, but I still think the Flyers are just in better form right now, as the Blackhawks have really lost their way with Bedard being banged up. The Flyers have been a really competitive team on the road this season, and I just think that they find a way to get it done even on the back-to-back. Give me Philadelphia here." — Chris Ruffolo, Sports Chat Place
"The Flyers will be playing the second half of a back-to-back, but that should not hurt them against a short-handed Blackhawks side that is missing its best player, Bedard, among others. Chicago has lost seven of its last eight, and the Blackhawks have dropped five of the last seven played at home .... The Blackhawks are 27th in goals for average at 2.8, and without Bedard and Frank Nazar on the ice, Chicago struggles even more to score." — Kevin Vallegro, Winners and Whiners
"In four games without Bedard, Chicago is 0-4 and averaging just 1.75 goals per game. Even with Bedard in the lineup, the Blackhawks have struggled all over the ice .... The only reasons for a close moneyline in this matchup are Chicago's home-ice advantage and the fact that Spencer Knight is expected to draw the start in goal. That said, Philadelphia carries a higher road winning percentage than Chicago's home winning percentage, and Knight is winless over his past three starts." — Tony Sartori, Covers
