Special teams remain a major red flag for Philadelphia. Falling behind early has proven costly, as their limited power play production makes mounting comebacks far more difficult, particularly in hostile environments.

Pick: Vegas Golden Knights -205 (Moneyline)

Vegas has been winning by dictating tempo and limiting high-danger chances, while Philadelphia has struggled to create offense. This matchup projects to be controlled rather than chaotic, making the Under the preferred angle.
