Vancouver Canucks vs Philadelphia Flyers Prediction 10-11-24 NHL Picks

SPORTS CHAT PLACE

The Philadelphia Flyers and the Vancouver Canucks meet Friday night in NHL action from the Rogers Arena. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a Vancouver Canucks vs Philadelphia Flyers Prediction.

Philadelphia Flyers Team Preview

The Philadelphia Flyers come into the 2024-25 season looking to keep making progress after falling just short of the playoffs in 2023-24, finishing with a 38-33-11 overall record, missing the postseason for the fourth straight season, but increasing their win total across each of those seasons. Travis Konecny is back to lead the charge for Philadelphia, but the young core of Flyers is ready to make their mark, led by Owen Tippett, who had 28 goals and 53 points last year as well as Tyson Foerster, who had 20 goals, as well as Matvei Michkov, who makes his way over from the KHL.

Sean Couturier will hope to get back into form after an injury and surgery-plagued 2023-24 season, while Morgan Frost, Joel Farabee and Scott Laughton will hope to be more consistent contributors. On defense, Philly had to use 13 different D-men last year and some questionable goaltending were the reasons for the Flyers’ downfall. Cam York and Travis Sanheim will lead the d pairings, while Rasmus Ristolainen will hope for a clean bill of health to contribute. Samuel Ersson is expected to lead the charge for Philly’s goaltending but Ivan Fedotov will likely see his fair share of action after getting a hefty extension over two years for $7 million.

Why the Philadelphia Flyers will win

  • The Flyers have won each of their last six season openers as underdogs.
  • The Canucks have lost each of their last four games as favorites after coming off overtime.
  • The Flyers have covered the puck line in each of their last 10 road openers.
  • The Canucks have failed to cover the puck line in each of their last six home games after coming off overtime.

Vancouver Canucks Recap

The Vancouver Canucks come into this one looking to shake off a disappointing 6-5 loss to the Calgary Flames in their season opener last time out. After this game, the Canucks will begin an east coast road trip when they take on the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Boeser Leads Charge For Canucks

Brock Boeser leads the Canucks with a pair of goals while Quinn Hughes has added a pair of assists. J.T. Miller has chipped in a goal and an assist as well while Conor Garland and Daniel Sprong each have a goal as well. Aatu Raty, Nils Hoglander, Elias Pettersson, Filip Hronek, Jake DeBrusk and Danton Heinen each have an assist as well this season. Arturs Silovs sits at 0-0-1 on the year with a 5.94 GAA and a .769 save percentage between the pipes for Vancouver this season.

Why the Vancouver Canucks will win

  • The Flyers have lost nine of their last 10 road games against opponents on a losing streak.
  • The Canucks have won six of their last eight night games against Metropolitan Division opponents.
  • The Flyers have failed to cover the puck line in eight of their last nine games.
  • The Canucks have covered the puck line in each of their last seven Friday games.

Vancouver Canucks vs Philadelphia Flyers Prediction

I’m on the Flyers here. I just want no part of the Canucks right now as their goaltending situation is a mess. The Flyers are well-coached, have a lot of guys healthy and Michkov has game-changer written all over him from a talent perspective. I think as long as we keep getting these hefty prices with the Canucks, we have to keep going against them. Give me the Flyers.
