Hurricanes vs. Flyers Prediction
The Hurricanes have lost 5-2 and 1-0 in overtime to start the season. The defending champions have had issues generating scoring chances so far, ranking 28th in xGoals% and 17th in ShotAttempts%.
The same goes for the Flyers, who have a 7-0 and 3-2 loss so far. Philadelphia is 32nd in xGoals% and 32nd in ShotAttempts%.
We all know how Carolina can dominate possession and limit scoring chances, so that's bad news for a struggling Flyers team. It makes me lean towards a low-scoring game, especially since we can get it at plus money.
Don't be surprised if this game ends up with something like a 3-1 type of scoreline with the Hurricanes getting on track with a win on the road.
Best Bet: Under 5.5 (+115)
