Blackhawks vs Flyers: Prediction

Chicago is coming off a big upset win over Florida. Philadelphia, meanwhile, hasn't been playing well as its goaltending has been an issue.

The Blackhawks are riding high off the win over Florida and the momentum will carry them to another win here.

Prediction: Blackhawks 4, Flyers 2.
