The Monday Philly Props: Flyers

Wayne Simmonds

Wayne Simmonds has one goal in his last nine games.

He has not scored a goal against the Penguins in his last six games against them.

Nothing points to him getting one Monday -- so, we’re in.

We can give you the “trade bait” conversation or say that “he’s due” but to us, he just seems to come through when it is needed. Considering a win here would move the Flyers to within four points of a playoff spot, well, yeah, it’s needed.

We thought about the Flyers winning the third period (as we had Saturday) or going with one of the “hot” Flyers -- you know, the ones that are actually scoring goals during this 10-game points streak -- but in the end, as we often do, we go with Wayne Simmonds.

Pick: Simmonds to First Goal ($1/+1400)
Pick: Simmonds to Score in Regulation ($4/+200)
