Flyers vs Devils same-game parlay

Porter Martone has instantly become a go-to guy for the Philadelphia Flyers on offense. He's averaged five shots on 7.5 attempts through four games and is coming off a multi-point performance in which he scored the overtime winner.

That should give him more confidence to keep shooting, and he’ll have opportunities in a pace-up spot against the Devils.

Travis Konecny has hit the scoresheet in 12 of his last 13 games vs. New Jersey and is playing opposite wing of Martone. There’s nice correlation here.
