Top Penguins vs. Flyers predictions
After 10,000 simulations of Flyers vs. Penguins, SportsLine's model is going Under on the total (5.5). The first two games of this series both went under, with five total goals in Game 1 and just three in Game 2. That continues a trend for the Flyers as each of their last four games have failed to surpass the total. Having Dan Vladar in net certainly helps as the Under has hit in 60% of games this season when he's the starting goalie.
Additionally, the Under has hit in 61% of the Flyers home games as this series shifts to Eastern Pennsylvania, while the Penguins have gone Under in three of their last four games following a defeat. No player from either team is forecasted to have more than 0.43 goals, on average, as these two play to another low-scoring affair. The Under hits in 58% of simulations.
