Senators vs Flyers Prediction
The Flyers are better than what they’ve shown up to this point, but winless and awful at both ends of the ice is just that. Eventually, the Flyers have to show me something before I can put hard-earned money on them. The Flyers are dreadful defensively, and the offense isn’t doing much either. This team looks lifeless right now. This is the home opener for the Senators, so I doubt things get easier for the Flyers. The Senators have won 5 straight and 8 of the last 10 games overall against the Flyers. The Flyers haven’t beaten the Senators since November 2024. Give me the Senators.
