Hurricanes vs Flyers parlay pick: Hurricanes ML (-166)

This Hurricanes team has given no reason to fade them at this point. Until or unless they do, it would just be a hope to hit on a plus-money opponent. Carolina will not go 16-0 in these playoffs. They will lose at some point. But until that happens, this is a good team to ride. The Hurricanes suffocated the Senators in the first round to the tune of 5 total goals allowed in their 4-game sweep. Ottawa ranked 8th in the NHL this year in both goals scored per game and power play percentage. Yet, Carolina shut them down with somewhat ease. The same has happened through 2 games against the Flyers.

The Flyers were shut out in Game 1, but were a shot away from bringing a tied series back to Philadelphia. All hope is not lost for the Flyers. But for all intents and purposes, they are playing against a better team that is also in great form. Philadelphia has won 5 of its last 6 games at home, but that looks to be neutralized by 5 wins in Carolina’s last 6 road games. Carolina also had a better point percentage on the road this year than Philadelphia had at home, and the Hurricanes have won 10 out of the last 11 played head to head. Again, Carolina is just too tough a fade.

Hurricanes vs Flyers parlay pick: Under 5.5 (-142)

The under has been rolling in Hurricanes games, hence the -142 odds for under a 5.5 game total. Going back to the last few games of the regular season, the under has now hit in 8 out of Carolina’s last 9 games. Their average game total so far in the playoffs is 4.0 as they have scored 17 and allowed 7 goals in 6 games played. Low-scoring games were especially common for the Hurricanes on the road this year, as their over/under record in road games is now 19-24. The way this team plays, the way they completely suffocate opponents and minimize high danger chances, bodes well for another low total.

Philadelphia has been no stranger to lower totals either. The under has hit in 4 of the Flyers’ last 5 games, as well as in 4 of the last 5 played head-to-head. Those unders hit for reasons the Flyers would not prefer, as they lost 4 of those 5 games and only scored 2.0 goals per game during that stretch. The pure matchup of these teams, their styles of play, current form, and overall team strengths and weaknesses has favored lower totals. This is another trend that is good to ride while it is hot.

Hurricanes vs Flyers SGP pick: Frederik Andersen over 21.5 saves (-125)

Given the Hurricanes have allowed just 7 goals in 6 games played so far in this postseason, it is not exactly shocking that goaltender Frederik Andersen leads playoff goalies in both goals-against average and save percentage. Might as well throw in 2 shutouts, which also leads postseason goaltenders, ironically tied with Flyers goalie Dan Vladar. Mostly due to games that have gone beyond regulation, the Hurricanes have allowed an average of 27.5 shots on goal per game. If the Flyers can hold close to that average, this prop has a ton of appeal.

The Flyers will do anything they can to avoid going down 3-0 in this series. They will play with as much desperation as they have at any point in their postseason. With that, look for this team to fire every puck on net they possibly can to create havoc and try to get a bounce. They will not wait for a high-percentage chance or look for that extra pass to try to open up a lane. The Flyers players will be shooting the puck and crashing the net. Andersen has been solid at stopping the high-percentage chances, and the low-percentage shots will just get this prop closer to the number. The solid form of Andersen and partial game plan for the Flyers give good value to this pick as part of our Hurricanes vs Flyers parlay at +325 odds.
