The Flyers have won 15 of the last 21 meetings with the Blackhawks and they are 5-1 in their last 6 road games. The Blackhawks are just 13-28-3 in their last 44 games against Atlantic Division opponents. My pick is with the Flyers as Chicago is coming off a road game less than 24 hours ago and Philadelphia may be the best team in the league.
