Final Flyers-Devils Prediction & Pick

These two teams are very evenly matched. The Devils are much better scoring this year, but the Flyers are a much better defensive unit. The Devils have won just three of their last six games overall. In games they are scoring well, they are winning, but in games against solid defenses, they are struggling. Meanwhile, the Flyers are 5-5 in the last ten games. They have won four of the last five though. They have had some trouble on defense in some games, but others have been stout. This should be a tight game, so take the extra goals with the Flyers in this one.
