THE INSIDERS ROOM'S 10* NHL TOTAL OF THE WEEK!
(NHL) Montreal vs. Philadelphia,
Total: 5.00 | -133.00 Over
Result: Push
This is a 10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK on the OVER Habs/Flyers.

Philadelphia held on for a 2-1 victory, but I think Game 2 will be much more wide open, after the Game 1 "feel out." The Habs aren't going to have the luxury soon to wait for the Flyers to make the first mistake, instead Montreal is going to have to start to get out of its comfort zone and try to attack throughout if it has any shot at getting back in this series.

The Flyers are an adaptable team, as they can lock down and play a defensive style (a la Game 1!), or they can open it up and score with the best of the best in the league.

I expect Montreal to push the pace, which will suit the Flyers just fine. I expect this Game 2 total to fly over the number early.

Good luck, NP
