Avalanche vs. Flyers Pick
Avalanche vs. Flyers Moneyline Pick
- Avalanche -150 (4 units)
Colorado is playing the second game of a back-to-back here on the road, but they have picked up at least one point in 18 of their last 19 games after beating the Rangers on Saturday. The Avalanche are the league’s most explosive offensive team, and they are equally as stingy in the defensive end of the ice. Colorado is a sparkling 9-2-4 on the road this season. Philadelphia has won six of their last eight games, but this one is going to be a challenge. Wedgewood has been stellar between the pipes while the Flyers are mediocre offensively. The Flyers have the rest advantage here, but Colorado is far too dangerous to contain. Take the Avalanche here as they earn a second straight win.
