The Philadelphia Flyers head west to Colorado to take on the Avalanche in the NHL on Tuesday (December 13), their second meeting this month. Philadelphia served Colorado a devastating upset when the Avalanche came to town. However, they may not be able to repeat that success.
After finishing last in the Metropolitan Division last season, the Flyers look like they're doomed for the same fate this year. They're one of the worst teams in the league. While they're three points up on the Columbus Blue Jackets, the Blue Jackets are expected to find their stride and rattle off a win streak.
After winning the Stanley Cup last year, Colorado has started slow this season, and injuries have not helped their cause. Josh Manson, Nathan Mackinnon, Darren Helm, and Bown Byram are all out, and they're missing Gabriel Landeskog

Flyers vs Avalanche Best Picks
Only the Arizona Coyotes score fewer goals per game than the Philadelphia Flyers. Tonight, they face one of the best tendies in the league, as Alexandar Georgiev is projected to start.
With the number of injuries Colorado is dealing with, they're not the high-scoring threat they usually are. However, they should still be able to put a few past Corey Hart. While Colorado's puckline is attractive, the under in this game is the smart bet, and bettors should also see a goal relatively early in this one.
Under 6 Goals (-130) & A Goal to be Scored in the First Ten Minutes (-148)
Flyers vs Avalanche Prediction
Colordo has a startling number of injuries, but of all the teams they could face with how their current lineup, Philadelphia would be near the top of that list.
Colorado's moneyline in this one is too steep, and the puckline is a dicey bet. So, if you're dying to lay money on one of these teams, Philly with the points is certainly the smart play here.
