Flyers vs Blue Jackets Pick – NHL Predictions & Odds 4/11/23

The Columbus Blue Jackets and Philadelphia Flyers meet Tuesday in NHL action at the Wells Fargo Center. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.

The Columbus Blue Jackets are averaging 2.6 goals per game and are scoring on 18.4 percent of their power play opportunities. Boone Jenner leads Columbus with 26 goals, Johnny Gaudreau has 52 assists and Patrik Laine has 184 shots on goal. Defensively, the Columbus Blue Jackets are allowing 4 goals per game and are killing 76.1 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Joonas Korpisalo has allowed 82 goals on 926 shots faced, and Elvis Merzlikins has given up 110 goals on 889 shots.

The Philadelphia Flyers are averaging 2.7 goals per game and are scoring on 15.7 percent of their power play opportunities. Travis Konecny leads Philadelphia with 29 goals, Kevin Hayes has 36 assists and Owen Tippett has 224 shots on goal. Defensively, the Philadelphia Flyers are allowing 3.3 goals per game and are killing 75.1 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Carter Hart has allowed 152 goals on 1,643 shots faced, and Felix Sandstrom has given up 65 goals on 537 shots.

The Blue Jackets are 11-41 in their last 52 road games and 14-38 in their last 52 overall. The Flyers are 2-5 in their last 7 Tuesday games and 41-91 in their last 132 overall. The over is 12-4-1 in Blue Jackets last 17 overall. The under is 4-1 in Flyers last 5 overall. The Blue Jackets are 23-11 in the last 34 meetings. The underdog is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings.

The Philadelphia Flyers have been the better team this season, and they’re getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home. However, these are two teams that have nothing to play for, and I need plus money if getting behind either of these clubs. So, it’s Blue Jackets or pass for me, as laying juice with the Flyers at this stage isn’t ideal.
