ASA play on Montreal Canadiens -162 vs. Philadelphia Flyers, 7pm ET

The Canadiens are in a must-win situation, desperately needing two points to keep their playoff hopes alive. Meanwhile, the Flyers have already been eliminated from postseason contention, giving them little motivation. Montreal has been strong at home with a 20-12-5 record this season and an impressive 5-1 mark as a home favorite. In contrast, Philadelphia has struggled on the road, posting a 12-17-8 record and a dismal 9-22 mark as the road underdog. The goaltending matchup further favors Montreal. The Flyers will start Samuel Ersson, who has a 3.8 goals-against average (GAA) over his last ten games, with Philly going just 3-7 in his last ten starts. The Canadiens counter with Sam Montembeault, who has been solid lately, going 6-2 in his last eight decisions with a 2.7 GAA. Given Montreal’s desperation, home dominance, and goaltending edge, the Canadiens look like a solid play against a Flyers team with nothing left to fight for.

Scott “The Bulldog” Rickenbach NHL Tuesday Free Pick Philadelphia Flyers Money Line +200 vs St Louis Blues @ 7:05 ET – Tough loss in this spot yesterday with Flyers as they lost in OT. They had more shots on goal and more blocked shots (by double digits) in the loss to Carolina. They (and we) deserved better with are big dog play on Flyers and today we should get it. The Blues are off a huge win Saturday at Toronto over the Maple Leafs. However, prior to the win St Louis had lost 4 of 7 games and allowed an average of 5 goals per game in regulation time of the 4 losses. In other words, they are susceptible here to a home dog that is very hungry for a win and is showing that with how well they have played recently. The Flyers have been on the cusp of a win and today they are worth another look as they played very well yesterday plus got a couple key players back. Free Pick PHILADELPHIA +200

ASA NHL free play – Flyers Nov 2nd

ASA Free Play on Philadelphia Flyers -1.5 goals +115 over Arizona Coyotes @ 7:08 ET – With Chicago’s dominating win over Ottawa last night, the Coyotes are the last remaining winless team in the NHL. Unlike the Blackhawks situation yesterday, this absolutely does not look like a good spot for Arizona to finally get into the win column. The Coyotes are facing an angry Flyers team that had been playing good hockey before an ugly 4-0 road loss at Calgary on Saturday. Now back home and ready to respond big, Philly takes advantage of a Coyotes team that has lost its 9 games by an average margin of 3 goals. Excellent line value with the puck line here as a result. Lay the 1.5 goals with Philadelphia
