Odds, tips and predictions for the Philadelphia Flyers and the Vancouver Canucks

The Philadelphia Flyers (0-0-0) take over Vancouver Canucks (0-0-1) Friday. Puck drop from Rogers Arena is scheduled for 10:00 p.m. ET. Let's analyze the 24/7 NHL odds from BetMGM Sportsbook Flyers vs. Canucks Opportunities and meet our NHL expert picks and predictions.

Season Series: First Meeting; Last year the Flyers won 2-0

The Flyers open their season on Friday night after narrowly missing the playoffs in a surprising rebound last season. That's not to be expected this year as they're starting some sort of youth movement around LW Matvei Mikkovlast year's first-round pick.

The Canucks lost 6-5 in overtime to the Calgary Flames on Wednesday. The Canucks led 4-1 after one period and conceded four straight goals before tying the score with 1:37 left. G Arthur Silovs saved just 20 of 26 shots in the loss. RW Brock Boeserwho scored a career-high 40 goals last year, lit the lamp twice.

Flyers at Canucks projected goaltender

Samuel Ersson (23-19-7, 2.82 GAA, .890 SV%, 4 SO in 23-24) vs. Kevin Lankinen (11-6-0, 2.82 GAA, .908 SV%, 1 SO in '23-24).

The 24-year-old Ersson enters the season as the undisputed starter after the team let Carter Hart walk. In 63 games over his two-year career, Ersson has a record of 29-22-7 with a GAA of 2.87 and an SV% of .892. Ersson stopped 18 of 19 in a 4-1 win over Vancouver in December.

Lankinen had a solid year last year as the backup to Juuse Saros in Nashville. He hasn't played against the Flyers since April 2022, when he stopped 33 of 34 shots in a 3-1 win at the Chicago Blackhawks.

Canucks tips and predictions flyer

forecast

Canucks 4, Flyers 3

Money line

The Flyers have won 4 of the last 5 meetings, but this Canucks team is on the rise. Their season-opening loss certainly left a bad taste in coach Rick Tocchet's mouth, and he'll be getting the boys excited for this game. However, -185 is too expensive.

Instead, take a look QUINN HUGHES OVER 0.5 assists (-135). He had 2 helpers in the first game and 75 in 82 games last season.

Puck Line/Against the Spread

I don't like the puck line either. I don't trust Vancouver to win by multiple goals, and I won't pay -165 for the Flyers not to concede an empty goal.

Give me instead BROCK BOESER OVER 2.5 SHOTS (+115). He had 3 SOG in Game 1 and 2 goals. He will be eager to shoot.

Over/Under

The Over is just 2-8 in their last 10 meetings, but the presence of Vancouver's backup Tendy should help this game win money. The Canucks were on a roll early in their first game with four goals in the first half. If the money is even, I'll try to get them to score the 4 or 5 goals needed to take home the prize ABOUT 6.5 (+100).
