I know Jeff Hochman loves the Flyers ML in this one. I tend to lean they win as well, but that's not how I bet all the time: The books are making a mistake giving us +1.5 in my opinion -- and of course no OT sweat -- so I'll take it even at this number with my half-unit play rule over -200.

The Minnesota Wild have given up seven goals twice in the early part of this season. In their last game, they scored seven without a power play goal. On the other hand, the Philadelphia Flyers are ranked seventh in shots against, while the Wild are ranked 27th. Moreover, the Flyers have a plus-34 shot differential, whereas the Wild have a minus-32 differential. Philly played well against the defending Stanley Cup Champions, and now they're returning home to face a team with a more undersized defense. I love the Flyers in this spot!
