T.M. Selection: Philadelphia Flyers.

I like the Philadelphia Flyers to win this game against the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday. The Flyers have had a terrible year and really have nothing left to play for along with their opposing team here, the Blackhawks, but the Flyers have looked a lot better in their games lately and have been playing quite well during this time. They have won 2 games in a row and I think they can keep up their streak here, adding another game to it. Both of their wins were very dominant with a win over the Canadiens in Montreal who have been bad lately but that is still a tough building to play in, and the other win was on home ice but against a playoff team in the Penguins who they destroyed 4-1 and never even gave the Penguins a chance in that game from the beginning. Their defense has been a lot better and they haven't had any issues scoring goals lately either. The Blackhawks haven't looked good at all in their games lately and they have lost 2 games in a row now but also only have 1 win in their previous 5 games. Their 2 most recent losses were not great either since they lost both games by 3 goals and were dominated the entire time, even losing to a team like the Sharks who have struggled to win games all year. I think the Flyers are getting hot now and they have looked a lot better than the Blackhawks have lately. The Blackhawks have been giving up tons of goals in their games too and they have only been able to score 2 goals in their last 2 games. I think the Flyers are playing way better at the moment and I like them to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Flyers.
