ASA TOP PLAY 10* ON Philadelphia Flyers Money Line +160 over New York Islanders at 7 PM ET - We cashed with the Islanders Thursday in their big win over the Capitals. You know New York wanted that game as Washington is the team Islanders coach Barry Trotz formerly led. Prior to the 8-4 win over the Capitals the Islanders had lost back to back games and 4 of 7. The way we see it there is far too much underdog value on the Flyers to ignore here. Philadelphia is off an embarrassing 6-1 loss at Buffalo. Yes, those same Sabres you had been hearing about for their very long losing streak which had reached 18 games before they upset the Flyers Wednesday. Now, having had extra time off to get even more fired up after that defeat, the Flyers should come out flying in this one. This team has been left for dead by many but they enter today's action only 3 points behind the Bruins for a playoff spot in the East Division. Though it will be a challenging stretch, Philadelphia does have back to back games coming up against the Bruins Monday and Tuesday in a home and home set that begins in Boston. The point is that the Flyers are far from dead yet and this game today at the Islanders offers exceptional line value when you consider the situational aspects for each club and the fact that Philadelphia is such a huge dog here. Given all of the above, we have no hesitation in taking a "flyer" on the big dog Flyers in this one as we have seen the Islanders come out flat on more than one occasion this season! Take the FLYERS
