Philadelphia Flyers
The Philadelphia Flyers have started to lose some of their offensive flare as of late.
They have only been able to score a total of seven goals in their previous four games, with four of them coming against the Avalanche on December 14th.
They were held to just one goal on Monday in a 1-2 loss against Nashville in Philadelphia.
The lone goal of the night came off the stick of Andrew MacDonald at 10:322 in the first period.
Playing against New Jersey should give the Flyers an opportunity to start coming up with some more production on offense.

Free Philadelphia Flyers vs. New Jersey Devils NHL Hockey Prediction:
Philly has been in a rough stretch, but they are a solid team on offense. Skating against New Jersey will give them a chance to get back on track, regardless of the fact that they are playing on the road.
Neither team has been great, or even mediocre for that matter at defending the net, so some goals are going to be scored on both ends.
