The over has hit six of the last seven times when the Flyers have met the Penguins, including all three meetings this season. Philadelphia is 39-34 on overs this season, while Pittsburgh is even better at 42-31. The over has hit in five straight Flyers games, while four of the last five Penguins games have gone over. This one should be another high-scoring affair.
