Philadelphia Flyers vs Boston Bruins Prediction, Odds and Picks for Thursday, 01/29/26

The Philadelphia Flyers have the tough turnaround, facing the Boston Bruins on the road Thursday night after suffering a 5-3 setback on the road against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Flyers are just 1-2-1 in the past 4 games and 2-7-2 in the past 11 outings. When playing on no rest, they’re 1-2-1 with a minus-6 goal differential in the past 4 games. Samuel Ersson is expected to be back in between the pipes after Dan Vladar started in Columbus. The Flyers have allowed 36 goals in Ersson’s past 8 games, or 4.5 goals per game.

The Bruins posted a 3-2 OT win against the Nashville Predators on Tuesday, making it 4 straight games decided by one goal. The B’s are 3-0-1 in the past 4 games, and 9-1-1 in the previous 11 outings. Boston is a little more rested, and it should take advantage of a shaky and tired Philadelphia team that has been very leaky on defense and in between the goal.

Flyers vs Bruins best bet: Boston Bruins ML (-160) at time of publishing. Playable to -175.
