*7* ANNIHILATOR on Philadelphia Flyers.

Both the Philadelphia Flyers and the New Jersey Devils ended a three-game slide their last time out as the Devils defeated the Oilers 2-1 while the Flyers won 5-1 against the Sabres. The road team have dominated this series in recent seasons, but I like the Flyers on home ice in today's match-up.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Road Woes - The Devils have lost three straight and five of their last seven away from home and they've averaged a league-worst 1.44 goals on the road since 2016 began. They're 0-4 in their last four when visiting a team with a losing home record.

2. The Flyers Recent Games - Philly is 4-2-1 over its last seven games, a 4-3 overtime win against the league-leading Capitals included. The Devils have just two wins to their name over their last six games.

3. X-Factor - The Flyers' rookie defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere is riding a 10-game point streak.
