Robert Ferringo's Picks For NHL Hockey
5-Unit Pick Take #59 Washington (+1.15) over Philadelphia (6pm, Sunday, March 31)
Please note this is our "Game Of The Week"
The Flyers ended a four game losing streak yesterday beating Boston at home 3-1 that included a empty net goal despite being out shot 34-22. The Capitols played last night coming back from a two goal deficit to beat the Sabres to keep in the playoff picture by gaining points in four of their last five games. The truth is these two teams are headed in different directions, don't be fooled by yesterday Flyers win this team has big problems on the defense and has trouble scoring, the goaltender was a big reason why they won that game yesterday. The Capitols unlike the Flyers are a playoff team and seems like they're playing with confidence heading into April winning nine of their last fifthteen games. I don't see any reason why a inconsistent Philadelphia team should be a -1.30 home favorite here in this spot and I will back the Cap's.
