Flyers vs Hurricanes Prediction

When it comes to a moneyline wager, I’m going with the Flyers to defeat the Hurricanes while playing on the road. Given the current moneyline odds at +236, I’m placing a wager on the Flyers to win outright.

Our projections have the Flyers pulling out a win as the underdog. But if you’re not as bullish as we are on the Flyers, we’d recommend at least getting a bet down on them to cover the puck line.

If you’re looking at the over/under line set at 6 goals, our prediction is that this game will exceed that mark, and we strongly advise placing a bet on the over.
