Carolina Hurricanes at Philadelphia Flyers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Carolina Hurricanes at Philadelphia Flyers odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Carolina Hurricanes (4-2-1) and Philadelphia Flyers (5-2-0) meet Saturday at Wells Fargo Arena in Philadelphia. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Hurricanes vs. Flyers odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

The Hurricanes were bludgeoned 6-2 at home Friday by the New York Islanders after a lengthy 5-game road trip out west. Now, Carolina faces the quick turnaround to Philly. This is a difficult spot for the Canes.

The Flyers were picked to be one of the worst teams in the NHL by the books, but they sit atop the Metropolitan Division in the early standings. Philadelphia is 3-1-0 in 4 games at home so far, including a 4-3 victory over the Florida Panthers Thursday as a huge underdog.

Hurricanes at Flyers projected goalies

Antti Raanta (1-0-1, 1.93 GAA, .922 SV%) vs. Carter Hart (5-0-0, 2.00 GAA, .947 SV%)

Raanta gets the nod after starter Frederik Andersen was pounded by the Islanders Friday. Raanta has allowed 4 goals on 51 shots over his 2 outings, losing 3-2 in OT last time out in Calgary last Saturday.

Hart has been impressive, winning all 5 of his starts so far, allowing just 3 goals or fewer in each of his outings. He hasn’t beaten tomato cans, either, as the Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning are among his victims so far.

Hurricanes at Flyers picks and predictions

Prediction

Flyers 3, Hurricanes 2

Moneyline

The FLYERS (+140) are an outstanding value against a Hurricanes side that appeared very tired and unable to match the energy of their home crowd Friday.

Philadelphia has won 3 of its 4 games at home, and D Tony DeAngelo should play with a little extra oomph against a Carolina team he spent last season with.

Puck line/Against the spread

The FLYERS +1.5 (-165) isn’t terribly priced out of line if you would like a little insurance and just can’t pull the trigger on taking Philly straight up.

Philadelphia has been involved in four 1-goal games so far this season, so win or lose, it’s sure to be tight.

Over/Under

UNDER 6.5 (-105) is the best play in this game.

The Under is 3-1-1 in Carolina’s past 5 road games and is 6-2 in its previous 8 inside the Metropolitan Division.

While the Over is 9-3-1 in the past 13 meetings in Philadelphia, the Under is 7-3-1 in the past 11 for the Fly Guys dating back to last season, while cashing in 5 of the past 6 games following a victory.

Hurricanes at Flyers projected goalies

Frederik Andersen (26-7-2, 2.10 GAA, .927 SV%, 2 SO) vs. Carter Hart (9-16-6, 2.96 GAA, .910 SV%, 1 SO)

Anderson stopped 28 of the 31 shots he faced in Friday’s victory against the Nashville Predators. He was rested Sunday, as Antti Raanta picked up the win to kick off the Keystone State back-to-back.

Hart hasn’t won in the past three starts, going 0-2-1 while allowing three or more goals in each contest. He was in between the pipes Nov. 12 for the team’s 2-1 road victory against the Hurricanes in the first meeting of the season.

Hurricanes at Flyers odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Hurricanes 4, Flyers 2

Money line

The Hurricanes (-205) will cost you over two times your potential return, and that’s a little on the steep side. Carolina is playing the second end of a back-to-back. The Hurricanes are 1-4 in the past five when playing on no rest. While the Flyers are a dismal 3-23 in the previous 26 against Eastern Conference foes, the risk is still too great for very little reward.

PASS.

Against the spread

The HURRICANES -1.5 (+122) at plus-money is a lot better of a play, even in the second end of a back-to-back set. Carolina is 12-4 in the past 16 as a road favorite, and 20-9 in the past 29 games against teams with a losing record. Don’t get carried away, though, as just two of the previous seven wins for the Hurricanes have been by two more goals.

Over/Under

UNDER 6.5 (-120) is the lean here. Yes, the Over is 8-3-1 in the past 12 meetings in Philadelphia, and 13-6 in the past 19 in this series, the Under has hit in five of the past seven for Carolina against losing teams. In addition, the Under has hit in five straight in the fourth game of a 4-in-6 (four games in six days) situation.
