This is an 8* on PHILADELPHIA

The Flyers will look to make it two in a row over the Devils tonight. They won here on Tuesday, 5-3, breaking things open with three straight goals in the third period. Since starting the season with two straight wins over Pittsburgh, Philly has been unable to string together consecutive victories. We look for that to change Thursday. New Jersey’s top goalie MacKenzie Blackwood remains on the COVID list and backup Scott Wedgewood has generally struggled. So has the Devils’ penalty killing unit, which allowed two goals Tuesday, the fourth game they’ve done that this season. New Jersey has yet to drop back to back games this year, but they’ve been fortunate to win a couple low-scoring games off previous losses. The Flyers have scored 25 times this season, tied for most in the division. They outshot the Devils 31-26 on Tuesday. The five goals they scored were the most NJ has allowed in a game this season. Philadelphia is 6-0 its last six times as a road favorite. Play on PHILADELPHIA
