Philadelphia Flyers vs Chicago Blackhawks Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/23/25

The Philadelphia Flyers are traveling to Chicago to face the Blackhawks for the first time this season. The Flyers are in second place in the Metropolitan Division and coming off a convincing 5-2 victory against the Vancouver Canucks. Although they don’t take many shots, which contributes to their average of fewer than 3 goals per game, they also restrict the number of shots their opponents take. Their strong defensive play has played a significant role in lifting them up the standings.

The Blackhawks have lost 5 consecutive games and 7 of their last 8. They will be without Connor Bedard for at least the next couple of weeks, and Frank Nazar will also miss tonight’s game due to an injury sustained against Ottawa. When a team struggles to score and loses arguably its 2 best offensive players, winning becomes an uphill battle. Although Chicago tends to perform better at home, scoring goals is essential for winning hockey games. Even playing on a back-to-back, the Flyers are the superior team overall. I’ll lean slightly toward them to cover the puck line.

Flyers vs Blackhawks prediction: Philadelphia -1.5 (+210) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
