Bet the Flyers to Break Their Losing Streak in the Friday NHL Odds?

The Flyers will bring a 10-game losing streak into Friday’s game with Vegas at T-Mobile Arena. The Flyers are 0-8-2 in their last 10 games after being shutout 3-0 by New Jersey at Prudential Center on Wednesday. Goalie Carter Hart was a lone bright spot, turning away 24 of 26 shots in the loss.

The public has been fading the Flyers in the NHL odds, which is a big reason the team is listed in their largest underdog role of the 2021-22 NHL season in the Friday odds. Philadelphia did fire head coach Alain Vigneault on Monday, but they’re 0-2 since Mike Yeo took over as interim head coach.

The Flyers rank bottom-five in the NHL in both goals scored (2.33) and goals allowed (3.33) this season. They have the fifth-worst power play (13.9%) and the 10th-worst penalty kill (79.2%). Making matters worse is two of their most important players in Ryan Ellis and Joel Farabee are both injured.

Knights Shining in Home Favorite Role

Vegas has won three straight games entering Thursday’s showdown with Philadelphia, as they come in as the home favorite yet again in the Flyers vs Golden Knights odds. The Golden Knights scored three straight goals in the third period to beat Dallas 5-4 on Wednesday. VGK’s impressive comeback effort handed the red-hot Stars their first loss in eight games.

The Golden Knights were almost impossible to beat at T-Mobile Arena last season, and now some of that magic is resurfacing this season. Pete DeBoer’s team has won eight of their past 10 games at the Fortress to improve their home record to 9-5-0 on the year.

While VGK starting goalie Robin Lehner was pulled Friday, the offense has been on fire. The Golden Knights have scored at least five goals in five of their last seven games. Mark Stone is on a six-game point streak, while Max Pacioretty has five goals in six games since returning from injury.

Flyers vs Golden Knights Pick & Prediction

The Flyers vs Golden Knights NHL matchup is as lopsided as you can find in the Friday NHL odds. One team is near the top of the Stanley Cup odds, while the other is plummeting towards the bottom. There’s isn’t much recent history to go off either, as the two teams have played just once in the last two years.

Flyers vs Golden Knights Recent Results

Date Home-Away Moneyline Puck Line Over/Under
01/02/2020 VGK 5 – PHI 4 VGK PHI Over
10/21/19 PHI 6 – VGK 2 PHI PHI Over
10/13/19 PHI 0 – VGK 1 VGK VGK Under
10/04/18 VGK 2 – PHI 5 PHI PHI Over
03/12/18 PHI 2 – VGK 3 VGK PHI Under

Goaltending is the primary reason to think twice before laying such heavy juice with Vegas at home. Philly goalie Carter Hart is capable of stealing games, and his .911 save percentage is superior to Lehner’s .906 save percentage. Furthermore, Lehner is 4-7-0 vs the Flyers all-time.

Betting the Vegas three-way moneyline at Barstool Sportsbook is the best way to bet the Flyers vs Golden Knights odds. The Golden Knights haven’t required overtime to win at home since October and should handle this struggling Flyers team in regulation at the Fortress.
