While the Florida Panthers have higher aspirations, the Philadelphia Flyers are just trying to climb their way back to respectability.

The Flyers won their first three games highlighted by another 3-2 comeback win on Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Florida won their first two contests before losing to Boston on Monday night.

Philadelphia looks improved from last year in the early going while Florida still has one of the more dangerous offenses in the league. There’s a good chance that this Flyers vs Panthers matchup may see a few more goals than usual.

Philadelphia Flyers Betting Analysis

Little was expected from the Philadelphia Flyers this season. However, early starts sometimes yield unusual results. The first two games have seen the Flyers outscore the Devils and Canucks by a combined 8-4 score.

Honestly, the Flyers just have to play as a team. Last year, Philadelphia looked like a group of individuals. For better or for worse, this is an improved team even if the talent may not be the same

Philadelphia is on the second leg of a Florida swing as the Panthers are playing their first game at home this season. Second legs are far from easy. John Tortorella is familiar with these scenarios.

Florida Panthers Betting Analysis

The offseason for the Florida Panthers was quite a crazy one. With Jonathan Huberdeau and MacKenzie Weegar going out and Matthew Tkachuk coming back, it was far from dull. It does not matter if Florida has no draft picks for the next several years. Their window is now. So far, they won two of their first three games away from Sunrise.

The Panthers can score goals in waves and Philadelphia has not faced a team like this until the “Florida Swing”. Florida is one of those teams that typically has to outscore its opponents. Last year, they scored 340 goals in all which led the entire NHL. However, the Panthers allowed 246 which ranked 13th overall.

Ultimately, Matthew Tkachuk will be the key to Florida’s fortunes this season. However,  Aleksander Barkov comes in seventh at (+1500) to win the Hart Trophy. Ironically, his former teammate Jonathan Huberdeau has the same +1500 odds. When Florida is rolling, the Panthers can easily score four, five, or even six goals or more.

Flyers vs Panthers Recent Results

Date Home-Away Moneyline Puck Line Total
03/10/2022 FLA 6 – PHI 3 FLA FLA Over
11/24/2021 FLA 2 – PHI 1 (OT) FLA PHI Under

02/13/2020 FLA 2 – PHI 6 PHI PHI Over
02/10/2020 PHI 4 – FLA 1 PHI PHI Under

The teams squared off three times last season, with Florida winning all three meetings including an easy 6-3 victory late in the season at Florida. Florida has the physicality and speed to create matchup nightmares for Philadelphia. Plus, the Flyers are still allowing plenty of high-danger scoring chances.

Flyers vs Panthers Prediction

Florida was one of the best teams at home last year. What better way for them to get going than to play a team like Philadelphia. The Flyers will come right at them. Florida went 34-7 in 2021-22 at Sunrise. This will be no picnic for Philadelphia.

Flyers vs Panthers Same-Game Parlay Picks

Pick Odds
Puckline (-1.5 goals) for Florida -120
Over 6.5 goals -122
PARLAY ODDS  +215

The Panthers expect to start Sergei Bobrovsky on Wednesday night. The Flyers may not start Carter Hart back-to-back. This is one of those games that expect to be full of goals. Wednesday night shapes up well for Florida to score early and often.

Pick: Florida Panthers Puckline (-120), Over 6.5 Goals (-122)
