My top Flyers vs. Penguins predictions and NHL picks are calling for Philly to continue its late season surge with a low-scoring road upset in Game 1. Flyers vs Penguins Game 1 prediction * Who will win Flyers vs Penguins Game 1?

Philadelphia Flyers: The Flyers put it all together down the stretch with an NHL best 15-5-1 run, including going 9-2 on the road while allowing just 2. 63 goals per game. As a result, I like Philly pulling off the road upset in Game 1 considering Pittsburgh closed out with a middling 10-8-3 record.

* --> Flyers vs Penguins best bet: Under 6. 5 (-130) The Philadelphia Flyers were dominant defensively at five-on-five down the stretch with the fewest goals against and second-fewest expected goals against per 60 minutes during their NHL best 15-5-1 run after the March 6 trade deadline. Excellent defense will be critical against the Pittsburgh Penguins because the Pens paced the league in goals per 60 minutes and team shooting percentage at 5-on-5 during the same result.
