We have had the luxury of 17 games over the past 2 nights, so it's no surprise we're due for a smaller slate on Wednesday. There are just 3 games on the board, but that doesn't mean there isn't value. Despite the lighter action, we have still found the best ways to target all 3 of the games going tonight for an incredible payout. We have already cashed a +1115 mega parlay in this young NHL season, so let's hit another one!

Florida Panthers -1.5 (-115) over Philadelphia Flyers
The NHL didn't cut the Flyers any slack with their schedule this week. Wednesday's game will be the second night of a back-to-back, and that doesn't tell nearly the whole story. Philly will be on the road once again for a little Florida road trip. However, taking on the Tampa Bay Lightning and Florida Panthers on consecutive nights isn't actually a Disney World vacation. The Lightning have won 2 of the last 3 Stanley Cups and it was the Panthers who won last year's Presidents’ Trophy for the league's best record.'
Meanwhile, the Flyers finished in last place in the Metro Division and had the 2nd-worst record in the Eastern Conference. They made virtually no offseason moves, whereas the Panthers became an even more complete team than they already were. Florida acquired Matthew Tkachuk from the Calgary Flames, who is already tied for the team lead in points with 4 in the first 3 games. The Flyers being primarily the same team as last season does not bode well for this matchup. They allowed the 6th-most goals per game and scored the 2nd-fewest goals per game. With the Panthers being the only team in the NHL to average more than 4 goals per game last season, expect them to roll through the Flyers.
