Flyers at Golden Knights projected goalies
Carter Hart (3-1-0, 2.01 GAA, .929 SV%) vs. Adin Hill (4-0-0, 1.73 GAA, .934 SV%)
Hart last played last Thursday, stopping 22 of 23 pucks in a win over the Edmonton Oilers. That start was on the heels of a shutout, so he heads into this start on a short-term roll.
Hill allowed 3 goals in a Saturday start at the Chicago Blackhawks. He faced the Flyers once last season, allowing 1 goal on 28 shots.

Flyers at Golden Knights picks and predictions
Prediction
Flyers 4, Golden Knights 3
Moneyline
Peg Philadelphia as being a couple clicks above average but seen by the public as something less and Vegas as being quite good but view as something more.
The Flyers have shot just 5.9% in even-strength situations. Their possession numbers have been solid while playing a top-5 strength of schedule. Philly has gone just 1-of-18 (5.6%) on the powerplay and typically plays in games with an extra penalty or 2, so some correction there gets an added volume boost. The Flyers head into this game on 2 days’ rest. Combining last season and this season, they are 13-3-1 with 2-day rest. That’s the club’s best rest split.
The Knights figure as a tad too far out over their skis and are priced more like a top-of-the-West juggernaut than perhaps what they are. They have played a bottom-5 strength of schedule.
Are we predicting a Philadelphia win. Not necessarily. But the Flyers are worth more than a 35.71% share here (implied odds).
BACK PHILADELPHIA (+180).
Puck line/Against the spread
More conservative bettors may want to leverage the Flyers plus a cushion. But PASS here unless you can get Philadelphia +1.5 at -130 or better.
Over/Under
There is some upside to Philly’s offensive numbers and some overall zag to the zig performed by the goaltenders so far. Would take the Over 6 at -115 or better. Otherwise, PASS.
