The Philadelphia Flyers Look To Bounce Back From A Loss

With a 4-3 loss to the Oilers, the Flyers’ record dropped to 1-2-1. Philadelphia led 2-0 after the first period, but Edmonton tied it up in the second and eventually secured the win with a goal in the third.

The total for the game was set at 6.5 goals, and the combined score of 7 surpassed that mark. The Flyers were underdogs on the puck line, so they didn’t cover. All three of Philadelphia’s goals came from just two players: Matvei Michkov, who scored twice, and Bobby Brink.

Seattle evened their record at 2-2-0 with a 7-3 road win over the Predators. The Kraken, as underdogs on the puck line, covered with ease. The total was set at 6 goals, and the game’s 10 combined goals surpassed that mark.

All seven of Seattle’s goals came from different players. The Kraken jumped out to a 2-0 lead, but the Predators tied it up before the first period ended. Seattle then pulled away with four unanswered goals in the third period.

Flyers vs Kraken Prediction

When making a moneyline pick, my choice is the Kraken to come out with a win against the Flyers while playing at home. Considering the moneyline odds at -137, I’m placing my bet on the Kraken to win outright.

When it comes to a puck line pick, our choice is the Kraken to secure the win and cover. Expect the Kraken to dominate this one with a multi-goal win over the Flyers.

With an over/under line sitting at 6 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
