Flyers vs Senators Pick

Money Line Pick For Flyers vs Senators

  • Flyers (+130) (4 units)

The Senators look to step up on their home ice but the Flyers have looked great lately and look to take over this game on the road. The Flyers, who average 3.00 goals per game, should find the back of the net at will against the Senators, who allow 4.71 goals per game, with Trevor Zegras, Owen Tippett, and the rest of the forward unit establishing a strong offensive zone presence while creating open shots with quick passes. The Flyers, who allow only 2.67 goals per game, should limit the Senators' offense with Travis Sanheim, Cam York, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone while limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Dan Vladar to make plenty of big saves. The Flyers should win the game and provide great odds in the process as road Underdogs.

Take the Flyers money line as road Underdogs.

Over/Under Pick For Flyers vs Senators

  • Under 5.5 (5 Units)

Both teams have great offenses that look to make this game a high-scoring one. However, the Flyers are led by their defense, and they look to make this game low-scoring from the opening puck drop. The Senators should limit the Flyers offense with Jake Sanderson, Thomas Chabot, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone while limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Linus Ullmark to make plenty of big saves. The Flyers, who have allowed only three goals in their last two games, should eliminate and potentially shut out the Senators with Travis Sanheim, Nick Seeler, Cam York, and the rest of the defensive unit forcing turnovers in all three zones while limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Dan Vladar to make plenty of big saves. The Under should cover in a low-scoring game with both defenses stepping up.

Take the Under on 5.5 goals.
