Philadelphia Flyers vs Vancouver Canucks Moneyline Prediction

The Canucks hold a W5, L4, OT1 record over their last 10 regular-season contests. However, it’d be fair to call them one of the hottest teams in the Western Conference right now. 

They seem to have found a new life following the trade that sent Quinn Hughes to the Minnesota Wild, as their recent shootout win over the Boston Bruins extended their winning streak to four games.

With victories over the New York Rangers, New York Islanders, New Jersey Devils, and the Bruins, the Canucks have been red-hot during this Eastern Conference road trip. 

This matchup against the Flyers also looks favourable from a performance perspective, as they’ll be taking on a squad that have dropped two games in a row and five of their last six. Philadelphia have also lost three of their previous four home encounters.

This will be a battle of low-scoring offences, as the Canucks rank 24th in goals per outing (2.80) and the Flyers are 22nd (2.88).

However, the Canadian side are averaging 3.2 goals during their current winning run, and they should rely on their impressive away form to get the victory here. 

As if that wasn’t enough, the Canucks also own the fourth-best record on the road in the Western Conference (W11, L7, OT2).

Philadelphia Flyers vs Vancouver Canucks Player Prop

Even though we’re backing the Canucks to get the win here, it wouldn’t be surprising if the majority of the Flyers’ offence goes through Trevor Zegras. 

He scored a power-play goal in Saturday’s 5-4 shootout loss to the Rangers, extending his impressive point streak to seven games, during which he’s recorded five goals and four assists.

Zegras has already registered 15 goals and 20 assists in 34 appearances, and he’s notched 12 of those points in power-play situations. Given that the Canucks rank 29th in the league in penalty kill (74.1 percent), look for Zegras to take advantage of any scenario in which the Flyers have the man advantage.

Philadelphia Flyers vs Vancouver Canucks Same Game Parlay

Considering recent trends, goal-per-game averages, and the fact that neither of these two teams have a dominant power-play unit, don’t be surprised if this clash ends up hitting the under in the goals market. 

Three of Vancouver’s outings during their ongoing winning run have produced under 5.5 goals, and the same outcome has happened in the last four head-to-head meetings.

Adding Zegras and Marco Rossi to the three-leg parlay is a way to back two of the hottest players on the ice. Rossi is still finding his feet in Vancouver after coming from Minnesota, but he’s been playing well and notched an assist in the win over the Bruins on Saturday. 

That was his first point with the Canucks, and he should start to produce more regularly moving forward.

Last but not least, we can’t overlook what Zegras brings to the table with his seven-game, nine-point streak. He should be the primary source of scoring for the Flyers against a struggling Canucks penalty-kill unit.

The Flyers are close to being at full strength for this contest, although they have two starters who are tagged as day-to-day in Dan Vladar (upper body) and Christian Dvorak (lower body). Both could return to the lineup if they receive the green light to play on Monday.
