The set-up: The Flyers come off a 3-0 home loss to the Rangers on Sunday, while Dallas fell 3-2 in a shootout in Vancouver on Saturday. Note that this is a revenge game for the Stars after they fell 2-1 in Philadelphia in mid January. With the loss to the Rangers, the Flyers are now officially eliminated from playoff contention and as such, I expect them to simply go through the motions today. Dallas had a three-game road win streak going before the setback in Vancouver. The Stars are three points behind the Blues for the final guaranteed spot in the division, meaning that this is clearly a crucial "must win" game for the home side.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well but Philadelphia is 1-4 in its last five vs. a team with a winning record, while Dallas is 8-3 in its last 11 after scoring two goals or less in its previous game. Playoff implications. Revenge factor. Lay the price with confidence.
