Philadelphia (33-18-10) at Boston (42-12-9)—7:00pm EST
The Philadelphia Flyers (+145) look to avoid a third straight loss and light a spark. A contest with the Boston Bruins (-165) last month helped the Flyers begin a modest winning streak, something they need to repeat if they're to make a late run at Boston and win coin for the NHL wagering folks in The City of Brotherly Love.
Philadelphia enters this game fourth in a muddled East and to gain ground, its offense will have to break through a wall named Manny Fernandez, who's fourth in the league with a sharp 2.24 GAA and eighth in save percentage at .921. Fernandez is expected to start as the No. 2 Bruins' goalie behind Tim Thomas, who leads the NHL with a 2.06 GAA and a .933 save percentage.
The Bruins are 21-4-5 at home record, but have dropped five of their last nine there (4-1-4). Fernandez is 0-1-2 in his last three and 1-4-1 with a tie and a 2.90 GAA in eight career games against the Flyers. In 13 games played at home this season Fernandez is 10-1 with a 2.27 GAA.
