A pair of Eastern Conference clubs are set to clash on Thursday night when the Tampa Bay Lightning storm the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia to square off with the Flyers. Read on for our Lightning-Flyers picks based on the top odds.
Tampa has won six of the club's past eight games and is 6-3-1 over its previous 10 contests. However, the club is coming off a Tuesday night loss to the first-place Boston Bruins. The Lightning don't seem like the same world-beater that outclassed the competition en rout e to two Stanley Cups and three straight trips to the final. But they're definitely still in the thick of things among the Eastern Conference's playoff clubs.
Meanwhile, the Flyers have completely cratered after a decent start. A 3-1 victory over the New York Islanders on Tuesday night was Philadelphia's first win since Nov. 8, and just its third over the past 16 games.
Here are our top picks for the NHL matchup between the Lightning and Flyers (odds via DraftKings Sportsbook, Caesars Sportsbook, and FanDuel Sportsbook; Pick confidence is based on a 1-to-5-star scale).
