Canucks vs. Flyers odds & prediction
The Vancouver Canucks are currently -135 favorites, while the Philadelphia Flyers are +114. The over/under is 6.5, with the under juiced to -120.
Vancouver surprised many with two wins over the Edmonton Oilers but now heads out East to play the Philadelphia Flyers in their home opener.
Philadelphia and Vancouver surprised fans with how well they were playing early on. Carter Hart has been decent to begin the season, and at home, I expect the Flyers to get the win as underdogs.
The Flyers will be motivated at home and will feed off the crowd's energy to get the win over the Canucks, who still struggle defensively.
Prediction: Flyers 3, Canucks 1
