Hurricanes at Flyers picks and predictions
Prediction
Hurricanes 3, Flyers 2
Moneyline
No interest; PASS.
Puck line/Against the spread
Kochetkov has played well so far but has a history of slow starts; he owns an .875 SV% across 10 career games in October. He faced Philadelphia last season and allowed 3 goals on just 18 shots on frame (Dec. 13).
Woll faced the 'Canes in the Oct. 3 matchup, and he registered 37 saves on 40 Carolina shots. He owns a robust .921 SV% over 6 career games vs. the Hurricanes and over his career has been quite good in October outings (.930 SV%). In his 3 starts this fall, Philly has clocked an 0-1-2 mark; all 3 games were decided by 1 goal.
Philadelphia is certainly off to a rough start. But the Flyers have tangled in 3 1-goal games and have played a relatively difficult schedule so far. They are shooting a paltry 5.8% (31st NHL) so far; a figure that far south of the NHL-average 11.2% is likely due for some helping regression.
Across the last 2 seasons, Carolina's worst days-of-rest split is its 8-7-1 mark on no rest.
The last 9 Carolina-Philly games have netted 7 1-goal outcomes.
BACK THE FLYERS +1.5 (-140).
Over/Under
The Under has cashed in 7 straight series meetings. And the total was 5.5 in the last 5 meetings.
The Flyers have played a tough schedule tilted toward high-scoring foes. Expect Philly to grind a slow pace against a club it has played tougher than what shows in W-L-OT results. The probable netminders are rested and playing well so far.
The UNDER 6 (-120) has value.
