Final Flyers-Wild Prediction & Pick

Neither team comes into this game very hot, but the goaltending situation for the Wild is concerning. They have to rely on Marc-Andre Fleury as their primary goaltender with the injury to Filip Gustavsson. He is no longer a top-quality goalie in the NHL at his age. Further, the backup, Jesper Wallstedt, has played once this year, allowing seven goals. The Flyers can produce enough chances to take advantage of that in this one. Further, the Wild are about the same level of goal-scoring team as the Wild. The Flyers have the better goaltending situation in this one, and that will be the difference.

Final Flyers-Wild Prediction & Pick: Flyers ML (+108)
