Philadelphia Flyers at Pittsburgh Penguins odds, picks and predictions

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

The Philadelphia Flyers (24-30-11) visit the Pittsburgh Penguins (32-22-10) Saturday at PPG Paints Arena. Puck drop is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. (ABC). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Flyers vs. Penguins odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

The Flyers were listless on offense in a 1-0 loss at the Carolina Hurricanes Thursday. The Fly Guys are just 2-8-2 across the past 12 games overall, with the Under hitting in 3 of the last 4 outings.

The Penguins were on the short end of a 4-3 OT loss against the visiting New York Islanders Thursday. It was a costly loss, as the Pens and Isles are jockeying for wild-card positioning in the Eastern Conference. Pittsburgh has gone to overtime in 3 of its last 4 games, winning twice.

Flyers at Penguins projected goalies

Carter Hart (17-20-10, 2.94 GAA, .907 SV%, 1 SO) vs. Tristan Jarry (19-7-6, 2.89 GAA, .912 SV%, 1 SO)

Hart allowed 5 goals on 39 shots in a loss at the Tampa Bay Lightning Tuesday. The 24-year-old netminder is 1-1-1 with a 2.96 GAA and .900 SV% in 3 starts in March.

Hart allowed 4 goals on 21 shots before being lifted in the 2nd period in the NHL Thanksgiving Showdown against the Pens on Nov. 25 in the first meeting this season between the Keystone State rivals.

Jarry has been in a bit of a tailspin lately, coughing up 4 goals in each of his 3 starts in March. Oddly enough, all of those outings have resulted in the Pens going to OT, and 4 of his past 5 starts haven’t been decided in regulation.

Flyers at Penguins picks and predictions

Prediction

Penguins 4, Flyers 3

Moneyline

The Penguins (-260) will cost you more than 2 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s just too much risk and not enough reward. For a standalone play, or even as part of a multi-team parlay, there is just no value.

AVOID.

Puck line/Against the spread

The FLYERS +1.5 (-105) are a decent play on the puck line. While I am expecting the Penguins to win outright, Pittsburgh has gone to overtime in 4 of its last 7 games. I expect another close battle in this Metropolitan Division rivalry game.

Over/Under

OVER 6.5 (-105) is the lean, mostly because both Hart and Jarry have been very giving lately.

The Over has cashed in 5 of the past 7 road games for the Flyers and has cashed at a 5-0-1 clip in the past 6 home games for the Penguins. The Over is also 7-3-1 in the past 11 games overall for Pittsburgh, too.

In addition, the Over has connected in 10 of the previous 14 meetings between these Pennsylvania rivals.

Philadelphia Flyers at Carolina Hurricanes odds, picks and predictions

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

The Philadelphia Flyers (24-29-11) travel to meet the Carolina Hurricanes (42-12-8) Thursday at PNC Arena. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m. (ESPN+). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Flyers vs. Hurricanes odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

The Flyers were hammered in the 1st of a 3-game road trip in Tampa, falling to the Lightning 5-2 on Tuesday as the Over cashed. Philadelphia is a dismal 2-7-2 across the last 11 games overall.

The Hurricanes have picked up 3 consecutive wins, outscoring the Arizona Coyotes, Lightning and Montreal Canadiens by a combined 16-4 score.

G Antti Raanta exited Tuesday’s game in Montreal in the 1st period due to an undisclosed injury. The team also lost D Jalen Chatfield to an upper-body injury, and both players are questionable for Thursday. G Pyotr Kochetkov was recalled from Chicago of the AHL on an emergency basis.

Flyers at Hurricanes projected goalies

Carter Hart (17-20-10, 2.94 GAA, .907 SV%, 1 SO) vs. Frederik Andersen (16-6-0, 2.35 GAA, .906 SV%, 1 SO)

Hart turned aside 34 of the 39 shots he faced in Tampa last time out. He is just 1-1-1 with a 2.96 GAA and .900 SV% in 3 starts in the month of March. Hart allowed a goal on 7 shots in a relief effort in Carolina on Dec. 23, and he allowed 4 goals on 38 shots in a 4-3 OT loss at home against the Canes on Oct. 29.

Andersen came on in a relief effort Tuesday for the injured Raanta, and “The Great Dane” was sharp. He allowed just a single goal on 14 shots to secure the win in a 4-3 SO victory. Andersen is 2-1-0 with a 1.47 GAA and .917 SV% in 2 starts and 1 relief appearance in March.

Flyers at Hurricanes picks and predictions

Prediction

Hurricanes 4, Flyers 2

Moneyline

The Hurricanes (-360) will cost over 3 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s a terrible standalone bet. Even in a multi-team parlay, including such a heavy favorite sucks all the value out of a ticket.

PASS.

Puck line/Against the spread

PASS.

When the line shifted to  Hurricanes -2.5 (-130) it moved to unplayable, even though the Flyers have lost 5 straight games against the Hurricanes while going just 2-5 in the previous 7 trips to Raleigh. And the favorite has won 5 consecutive meetings in this series, too. But winning  by 3 seems too much.

Over/Under

UNDER 6.5 (-120) is a decent amount of juice, but it is the best play.

While the Over has been dominant for the Flyers lately, including a 5-1 mark in the last 6 games on the road, the Under is the lean. The Under is 5-2-1 in the last 8 games for the Hurricanes, while going 4-0-1 in the last 5 home games.

Philadelphia Flyers at New Jersey Devils odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Philadelphia Flyers at New Jersey Devils odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Philadelphia Flyers (23-27-10) travel to meet the New Jersey Devils (38-15-5) Saturday at Prudential Center. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m. (ESPN+). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Flyers vs. Devils odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

The Flyers are skidding hard, dropping 6 of the past 7 games, with a lone win in Calgary Feb. 20 as the only regulation since since the All-Star break. Philadelphia is 2-6-1 during the 9-game span. That includes a 5-2 loss on home ice against the Montreal Canadiens Friday night.

The Devils posted a 4-3 overtime win against the Los Angeles Kings Thursday night, and New Jersey is 3-1 across the past 4 outings, while also cashing the Over at a 3-1 clip during the stretch.

This is the 4th and final meeting of the regular season. New Jersey lost the regular-season opener in Philadelphia by a 5-2 count Oct. 13, while exacting revenge with a 3-2 win in Philly Dec. 3. The Fly Guys returned the favor with a 2-1 win Dec. 15, and the Under is 2-1 in those 3 meetings.

Flyers at Devils projected goalies

Samuel Ersson (6-0-0, 2.56 GAA, .913 SV%, 1 SO) vs. Vitek Vanecek (25-6-3, 2.37 GAA, .913 SV%, 2 SO)

The rookie Ersson registered 32 saves in a 4-3 win in Calgary in his most-recent start, his first outing since Jan. 17. Carter Hart allowed 5 goals on 31 shots in a home loss to Montreal Friday, so Ersson gets his chance to shine.

Vanecek stopped 19 of the 22 shots he faced in a 4-3 OT win against the Los Angeles Kings, and he is 4-1-1 with a 2.75 GAA and .892 SV% in 6 starts in the month of February. He lost his only start against the Devils Dec. 15, although he allowed just 2 goals on 24 shots in the 2-1 setback at home.

Flyers at Devils picks and predictions

Prediction

Devils 5, Flyers 3

Moneyline

The Devils (-290) will cost you nearly 3 times your potential return, and that’s just too expensive for a standalone bet. Even if you were to include New Jersey as part of a multi-team parlay, there is just no value including the Devils in a ticket.

PASS.

Puck line/Against the spread

The DEVILS -1.5 (-120) are a better play in this home game, although tread lightly, as the Flyers +1.5 (+100) have given them plenty of trouble this season.

New Jersey has cashed on the puck line in 2 of the team’s past 3 wins since Feb. 18, so if you like the Devils to win, you should like them to cover the puck line, too.

Philadelphia is also just 12-29 in the past 41 games inside the division, 17-49 in the past 66 against winning teams and just 15-42 in the past 57 games when playing on no rest. New Jersey is a strong play at home.

Over/Under

The OVER 6.5 (+110) is worth a look at plus-money.

The Over has cashed in 5 of the past 6 games overall for the Fly Guys, while cashing at a 6-2-1 clip in the past 9 games when playing on no rest.

The Over is 3-1-1 in the past 5 games overall for the Devils, while going 3-0-1 in the past 4 when playing on a day of rest. The Over is also 13-6-1 in the past 20 meetings in Newark.

Montreal Canadiens at Philadelphia Flyers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Montreal Canadiens at Philadelphia Flyers odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Montreal Canadiens (24-29-4) and Philadelphia Flyers (23-26-10) meet Friday at Wells Fargo Center. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Canadiens vs. Flyers odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

The Canadiens won as +304 underdogs 5-2 at the New Jersey Devils Tuesday. G Sam Montembeault made 38 saves as Montreal ended its 3-game road losing streak. The Canadiens are 21-51 in their last 72 road games.

The Flyers lost as +285 underdogs Tuesday in a 4-2 defeat at the Edmonton Oilers. LW Noah Cates and RW Owen Tippett scored for the Flyers, who blew a 2-1 third-period lead. Philadelphia is 7-2 in its last 9 games vs. teams with a losing record.

This is the 2nd meeting this season between the teams. Montreal was victorious as a -125 home favorite with a 5-4 shootout win as the Over (6) cashed Nov. 19.

Allen allowed 4 goals on 29 shots vs. the Flyers in the Nov. 19 shootout win. He’s 1-3-0 in 4 career starts vs. Philadelphia with a 3.55 GAA and .883 SV% (106 saves against 120 shots).

Hart allowed 4 goals on 32 shots vs. the Canadiens Nov. 19. He’s 2-2-3 in 7 career starts vs. Montreal with a 2.99 GAA and .910 SV% (191 saves against 210 shots).

Canadiens at Flyers picks and predictions

Prediction

Flyers 4, Canadiens 3

Moneyline

BET FLYERS (-160).

Montreal should be in a letdown spot after winning as a big underdog Tuesday at New Jersey. The Canadiens are just 3-10 in their last 13 games after a win, and the Flyers will be desperate to bounce back after blowing a late lead at Edmonton. Look for Philadelphia to get its revenge for the shootout loss earlier in the season.

Puck line/Against the spread

PASS.

Philadelphia’s last 5 home games have been decided by 1 goal. Canadiens +1.5 (-190) should hit, but Montreal is being slightly overvalued on the puck line. Bet the moneyline and/or total instead.

Over/Under

BET OVER 6.5 (+105).

The Over is 5-2 in Montreal’s last 7 games and 3-1-1 in the Canadiens’ last 5 after a win. The Over has hit in 4 of Philadelphia’s last 5 games and is 4-1-1 in the last 6 meetings between these teams.

The Philadelphia Flyers (23-25-10) and Edmonton Oilers (30-19-8) meet Tuesday at Rogers Place. Puck drop is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Flyers vs. Oilers odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

The Flyers won as +209 underdogs 4-3 at the Calgary Flames Monday. RW Wade Allison scored the game-winner as Philadelphia almost blew a 3-1 third-period lead. The Flyers are 17-48 in their last 65 games vs. teams with a winning record.

The Oilers lost as -111 favorites Sunday in a 6-5 overtime loss at the Colorado Avalanche. LW Warren Foegele scored twice for the Oilers, who have blown 3-goal leads in back-to-back games. Edmonton is 29-11 in its last 40 games vs. teams with a winning percentage below .400.

Carter Hart (16-17-9, 2.88 GAA, .910 SV%, 1 SO) vs. Stuart Skinner (13-11-4, 2.95 GAA, .913 SV%)

Hart allowed 1 goal on 35 shots in the shootout win Feb. 9. He’s 3-2-0 in 5 career starts vs. Edmonton with a 2.99 GAA and .913 SV% (147 saves against 161 shots). In 20 road games this season (19 starts), Hart is 7-7-6 and has allowed 51 goals on 607 shots, good for a 2.77 GAA and .916 SV%.

Flyers at Oilers picks and predictions

Prediction

Oilers 6, Flyers 3

Moneyline

PASS.

The Oilers (-320) should win, but there is no need to risk more than 3 times your potential profit on the moneyline when Edmonton should bounce back and win by multiple goals. Bet the puck line and/or total instead.

Puck line/Against the spread

BET OILERS -1.5 (-135).

Edmonton has blown 3-goal leads in back-to-back games and it is very unlikely that the Oilers would blow another lead Tuesday if they can build one early. The Flyers’ last 2 losses have both been by 4 goals and Philadelphia is 15-41 in its last 56 games on the 2nd night of a back-to-back. Look for the Flyers to let down after pulling off the upset as big underdogs at Calgary Monday.

Over/Under

BET OVER 6.5 (-140).

The Over is 4-0 in Philadelphia’s last 4 games and 6-1-1 in the Flyers’ last 8 on the 2nd night of a back-to-back. The Over has hit in 14 of Edmonton’s last 17 games vs. teams with a winning percentage below .400 and is 7-1 in the last 8 meetings between these teams in Edmonton.

Flyers at Kraken projected goalies

Carter Hart (16-15-9, 2.78 GAA, .913 SV%, 1 SO) vs. Philipp Grubauer (6-9-3, 2.90 GAA, .900 SV%)

Hart has been on fire lately, going 2-1-2 across the past 5 starts, while allowing just 8 goals on 153 shots, good for a .948 SV%. He is unbeaten in the past 3 starts on the road.

Grubauer is also on quite the roll, allowing 3 or fewer goals in 11 consecutive starts dating back to Dec. 13. He was on the short end of a 3-2 shootout loss at Winnipeg Tuesday, allowing 2 goals on 40 shots.

Flyers at Kraken picks and predictions

Prediction

Kraken 4, Flyers 2

Moneyline

The Kraken (-200) will cost you 2 times your potential return in this home game at Climate Pledge Arena.

The Flyers are ice-cold and cannot be trusted, either.

AVOID.

Puck line/Against the spread

The KRAKEN -1.5 (+120) on the puck line at plus money is a much better value, especially on home ice.

Seattle hasn’t won by 2 or more goals since Jan. 28 at home against Columbus, so there is some risk and it might come down to an empty-net goal late to get over the hump considering how Hart is playing.

Over/Under

The UNDER 6.5 (-140) is a little on the expensive side, but the Under is definitely the play with a pair of goaltenders performing very well.

The Under is 7-0-1 in the past 8 road games for the Flyers while going 4-1 in the past 6 games overall, and 4-1 in the past 5 against winning teams.

For the Kraken, the Under is 14-5-2 in the past 21 games at Climate Pledge Arena, while hitting at a 10-3-1 clip in the past 14 against Metropolitan Division foes.

Seattle Kraken at Philadelphia Flyers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Seattle Kraken at Philadelphia Flyers odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Seattle Kraken (29-18-5) visit the Philadelphia Flyers (22-22-10) Sunday for a 1 p.m. ET faceoff from Wells Fargo Center (ESPN+). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Kraken vs. Flyers odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

Seattle has been on a cold streak, recently losing 6-3 Friday as +165 underdogs at the New York Rangers. It was the Kraken’s 3rd consecutive loss, all on the road as they’re in the midst of a 5-game road swing — Sunday is the 4th game of the trip. Seattle is 3-5-1 in their last 10 and is on a 4 game road losing streak.

Philadelphia lost 2-1 in overtime Saturday as +115 home underdogs to the Nashville Predators. The Flyers beat the Edmonton Oilers 2-1 in a shootout Thursday as +165 favorites. The Flyers are 2-2-3 in their last 7.  Philadelphia has been a bad team this season, and with this recent losing streak they now sit in 2nd-to-last place in the Metropolitan Division.

Kraken at Flyers picks and predictions

Prediction

Flyers 2, Kraken 1

Moneyline

LEAN FLYERS (+130).

Either team could win which is why this is your riskiest bet for this matchup.

The Kraken are the much better team, but this is a very winnable game for the underdog Flyers. Seattle is on the road where it has struggled lately. This is a perfect opportunity for the Flyers to win one.

Puck line/Against the spread

Whether the Flyers +1.5 (-200) win or lose they should be able to make this a pretty close game. They are the underdog despite being the home team, which is a big advantage because of Seattle’s road woes. Philadelphia is also 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games despite entering as the underdog in 4 of those 5.

I’m not a fan of suggesting such a big favorite, but I’m willing to make a wager to win a half unit.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 6.5 (-110). 

The Under is the slightly safer bet for both teams as of late. The Under is 5-0 in Philadelphia’s last 5 games. The Under is 5-3-2 in Seattle’s last 10 games.

Oilers at Flyers picks and predictions

Prediction

Oilers 4, Flyers 1

Moneyline

PASS.

The Oilers (-190) should win, but there is no need to risk almost twice your potential profit on the moneyline when Edmonton should win by multiple goals. Bet the puck line and/or total instead.

Puck line/Against the spread

BET OILERS -1.5 (+140).

Edmonton is 5-0 in its last 5 games after scoring 5 or more goals in its previous contest and Philadelphia is 1-4 in its last 4 vs. Western Conference teams. The Oilers’ last 5 wins have all been by multiple goals and the Flyers should struggle to contain the league’s highest-scoring team (3.76 goals per game).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 6.5 (+115).

The Under has hit in 3 straight games for the Flyers and is 6-3-1 in Philadelphia’s last 10. These teams tend to play low-scoring games vs. each other in Philadelphia, with the Under hitting in 9 of the last 14 meetings, and the Flyers’ bottom-10 offense should help the Under cash once again Thursday.

New York Islanders at Philadelphia Flyers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s New York Islanders at Philadelphia Flyers odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The New York Islanders (25-22-5) and Philadelphia Flyers (21-21-9) are lined up for a Monday battle at the Wells Fargo Center. The puck drop between is slated for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Islanders vs. Flyers odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

The Islanders went into the All-Star break on a 2-game winning streak — both at home. They had been winless (0-4-2) over their previous 6 games. Its defense has often struggled on the road (3.12 goals per game), and since Dec. 13, the Isles have gone 2-7-3 off the island.

The Flyers went into the break off a 4-0 win over the Winnipeg Jets Jan. 28. The shutout belies recent issues with a Philadelphia defense that allowed 3.43 GPG in the 7 contests prior. And at home, the Flyers defense has been more porous still. Over its last 6 games at home, Philly has allowed 4.00 GPG.

Islanders at Flyers picks and predictions

Prediction

Islanders 4, Flyers 2

Moneyline

Analytically, these clubs are quite similar in many respects, but Philly went into the break scuffling on faceoffs and in puck-possession numbers. Hart has a history of being a 2nd-half fader, and Sorokin has the better vs.-opponent figures in this matchup.

The Isles have been undone a bit lately by a lack of production on the power play. The Flyers have spent quite a bit of time in the box of late. Look for something to crack there and for New York to be worth a look as an outright winner but also on the puck line.

Consider quartering your unit amount and betting 3 quarters on the ISLANDERS (-130).

Puck line/Against the spread

Four of Philly’s last 5 home losses have been by multiple goals. The Islanders are 15-11ATS on the road.

Consider a quarter-unit play on NEW YORK -1.5 (+190), alongside the ML wager above. It’s a play hedging toward the likely but still leveraging the nice payoff on the puck line.

Over/Under

A both-team lean toward the Over is undercut a bit by some faith in Sorokin here. PASS.

Flyers at Jets projected goalies

Flyers at Jets picks and predictions

Prediction

Jets 3, Flyers 1

Moneyline

PASS.

The Jets (-220) should win, but there is no need to risk more than 2 times your potential profit on the moneyline when Winnipeg should win by multiple goals. Bet the puck line or total instead.

Puck line/Against the spread

BET JETS -1.5 (+115).

Winnipeg is the better team with the better goaltender and will be extra motivated to win after back-to-back losses. The Jets’ loss to Buffalo was a bad spot for Winnipeg as it had just returned from a 5-game road trip. The Jets will be much more rested Saturday and should be able to take advantage of a Flyers team that has lost 3 straight. Winnipeg has covered the puck line in 6 of its last 7 wins. Look for the Jets to win by multiple goals Saturday.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 6.5 (-130).

The Under is 6-0-1 in Philadelphia’s last 7 road games and 18-6-2 in Winnipeg’s last 26 vs. Eastern Conference teams. The Under is 6-3-1 in the last 10 meetings between these teams and should hit again Saturday with Hart and Hellebuyck both starting in net.
