Flyers vs Ducks Prediction

The Flyers won their previous meeting against the Ducks this season by 5-2 at home and are 6-1 in their last 7 meetings.

In this Flyers vs Ducks Prediction, the Ducks are coming as -150 home favorites. The Ducks have been the better team this season and have been playing their best hockey at home ice but have lost three of their last five games. On the flip side, the Flyers are 6-3 in their last 9 games and have four consecutive wins on the road, so I wouldn’t go against them in this spot. Both teams are 14-5-1 to the under in their last 20 games combined and with the total set at 6.5 goals, I will go under that number.
