Two of the best teams in the league meet on Monday in NHL betting as the Philadelphia Flyers host the Montreal Canadians. The Flyers will try and find a way to score against Montreal’s Carey Price who is playing better than any goalie in the league right now. The Flyers are at home though and they are the likely choice from gamblers making an NHL bet at Sbg global.com.
Philly Offense vs. Montreal Defense
The Flyers have the second best offense in the NHL while the Canadians have the second best defense. It makes for an interesting matchup on Monday night. The key for Montreal has been Carey Price who has a .965 save percentage and 1.20 goals against average in his last five games.
Canadians 6-2 on the Road
The Canadians are 6-2 on the road this season so they are capable of winning at Philadelphia. Montreal hasn’t been on the road for a while since their last four games have been at home. This will be a quick one-game trip as they are back home for the Kings on Wednesday.
Flyers 8-4 at Home
The Flyers have won 8 of their 12 home games this season. They are coming off a road win on Saturday at Washington in a game they won in a shootout. Brian Boucher got the start in goal in that game for the Flyers and he might get the start again on Monday night.
