The Flyers wrap up their eight game homestand tonight when they host the Golden Knights. After taking out the Blackhawks, Philadelphia sits at 2-4-1 on this current stretch. Vegas has won three of their last four contests and begin a five game road trip today. All odds per Draftkings Sportsbook.
Game Lines
Despite some recent victories the Flyers (+155) enter tonight’s matchup as the underdogs per the usual. Philadelphia hasn’t been able to string wins together at all this season, going 7-23 in their last 30 contests following a win, they’ve also struggled against the Pacific Division 1-5 in their last 6 and against teams with winning records 12-40 in their last 52.
Road favorites tonight, the Golden Knights (-180) have been formidable away from Sin City. They’re 8-1 in their last 9 as road favorites and 11-4 in their last 15 road games overall. And they’ve beaten up on weaker competition, winning the games they’re supposed to, going 52-18 in their last 70 matchups versus teams with losing records.
There’s no doubt the Knights are the better team in this one, but given the Flyers recent success and ability to play teams close at home, they’ve won or lost by just a single goal in 4 of the 7 games on this homestand so far, Philadelphia could keep this tight. Also Vegas isn’t blowing people away, having lost or won by a lone goal in 5 of their last 6. The Flyers +1.5 (-155) looks good tonight.
This game’s total sits at 6 (O -115, U -105) and despite each teams propensity for giving their opponents plenty of chances, the trends lean towards the under. For the Knights the under is 5-1-1 in their last 7 road games, 4-1 in their last 5 as favorites and 5-2 in their last 7 overall. Philadelphia has seen the under go 5-1 in their last 6 following a win and 8-3 in their last 11 versus the Pacific Division. Take the under tonight.
