This is an 8* play on the Philadelphia Flyers.

No need to overanalyze this one, despite being injured, the hungry Flyers are rested and catch a crummy Hurricanes team off a game just last night. Suffice it to say, when the smoke clears at the end of this one, we're expecting the home side to find a way to get the job done. Philadelphia will be desperate here after getting shutout in its last two games. This sets up as a natural letdown spot for the Canes after their big 4-3 win over the Kings just last night. As a situationally based handicapping service, it rarely matters to us who is on the field of play, this particular kind of contest and the way it sets up is one that we'll always keeps our eyes open for. Note that Carolina is 13-27 (-10.8 units) when playing on back-to-back days, while Philadelphia is 5-4 (+1.1 units) its last nine after scoring one goal or less in its previous game. Play on the FLYERS.
