Philadelphia Flyers vs Colorado Avalanche Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/23/26

The Philadelphia Flyers are traveling to Colorado to face the Avalanche for the second and final time this season. The Flyers have lost 4 of their last 5 games and are eager to turn things around quickly. They are still in contention for a playoff spot, but they need to string together some wins to keep pace with the rest of the field. Curretly the Flyers average fewer than 3 goals per game — but they also don’t give up many scoring chances. Recently, their goaltending has been an issue; they have allowed 5 or more goals in all 4 of their losses. They will need to improve this aspect of their game if they hope to win tonight.

On the other hand, the Avalanche are starting to encounter some adversity. They have a record of 1-1-2 in their last 4 games, including a 2-1 overtime loss to the Ducks. Every strong team faces challenges during the season; it’s a natural part of the journey. While Colorado might feel it deserved to win against Anaheim, sometimes the best team on paper does not come out on top. The Avalanche remain the highest-scoring team in the league, averaging well over 30 shots on goal at home. If they keep pushing and getting pucks on net, good things are likely to happen. I expect them to cover the puck line in this matchup.

Flyers vs Avalanche prediction: Colorado -1.5 (-115) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
