There are some places where hockey is part of the fabric of the city, while others just seem like an odd fit for a team on skates. Philadelphia is certainly a city that fits into the former description, while Sunrise, Florida seems like the last place on earth where hockey should be played. The Philadelphia Flyers will head to the Sunshine State on Saturday to go up against the Florida Panthers while being listed as favorites on NHL betting lines.

Flyers vs Panthers: NHL Betting Preview

Date: Saturday, October 10, 2015 Time: 7:00PM Venue: BB&T Center Opening Line: Philadelphia +115 The Philadelphia Flyers are a team with a very rich history, but it has been tainted a little in recent years. This is a team that is committed to rebuilding under GM Ron Hextall, a Philly legend who obviously has this team’s best interests at heart. Hextall has brought in a new head coach, and has made a few moves that should have this team improving over where they ended up last season. I still think they have a few too many holes to be considered a legitimate playoff contender, but they do have enough good pieces to put up a good fight. The first two games for the Flyers come on the road, and you have to think that they would be happy to go home with a split. This may well be the game they need to win in order to make that happen, though, as they open the season against a very good Tampa Bay team on Thursday night. philadelphia-flyers One of the biggest rumors swirling around Florida right now is that the Panthers are a team destined to be relocated to Quebec City. The successful return of the Jets to Winnipeg has done nothing but add fuel to that fire, and you have to believe that the Panthers fans are going to have to start showing up in numbers if they want their team to stay put. A good product on the ice can help make that happen, and the Panthers certainly have the makings of a very good young team. Calder Trophy winner Aaron Ekblad will need to avoid a sophomore slump, and Roberto Luongo will need to stand tall in net. If they can do that, and some of the other younger players can continue to progress, there is no reason why this Panthers team can’t have a good season. florida-panthers

Consider This Before Placing Your Bets

The Panthers took 2 of 3 from the Philadelphia Flyers last season, with each of the games being on the low-scoring side of things. I like Florida to get the win on home ice in what will likely be a tight one.
