The Toronto Maple Leafs (7-5-1) travel to meet the Philadelphia Flyers (6-2-2) Wednesday at Wells Fargo Center. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Maple Leafs vs. Flyers odds and lines, and make our expert NHL picks, predictions and bets.
The Maple Leafs saw their five-game win streak go up in smoke in ugly fashion, falling 5-1 Monday night against the Los Angeles Kings in the final outing of a five-game homestand.
The Flyers enter well rested, last playing Saturday. In that game, Philadelphia edged Washington on the road by a 2-1 count, its fifth consecutive Under result. Philadelphia is 3-1-1 at home this season, including a 3-0 win over Arizona in its most recent contest at Wells Fargo Center last Tuesday.

Maple Leafs at Flyers odds, lines, picks and predictions
Prediction
Flyers 4, Maple Leafs 2
Money line
The FLYERS (+115) are a solid value at home as short dogs. The Maple Leafs (-140) haven’t been very good on the road, winning just once in the past five away from home. In addition, Toronto has won just once in its past six trips to Philadelphia, with the home team 9-3 in the past 12 meetings in this series.
Against the spread
The Flyers +1.5 (-230) are too expensive on the puck line, costing you more than two times your potential return. If you like them, just play them straight up.
AVOID.
Over/Under
The UNDER 6.5 (-135) is a strong play here. Campbell and Hart haven’t had a lot of rough nights, and “Soup” should bounce back after getting crowned by the Kings last time out. You might have to sweat out an empty net late, but the Under is the best play on the board here.
