Philadelphia Flyers vs Columbus Blue Jackets Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/28/26

The Philadelphia Flyers are looking to bounce back after suffering a 4-0 loss on home ice against the New York Islanders, as the Under (5.5) cashed. Despite that, they are still 2-1-1 in the past 4 games, and the Flyers have averaged 3.2 goals per game in the past 6 outings. It is expected that the Blue Jackets will use the shaky Elvis Merzlikins in between the pipes, so it could be a highly productive game for the Fly Guys as they look to bounce back from the blanking.

The Blue Jackets are coming off a wild 8-5 victory over the previously red-hot Tampa Bay Lightning. The offense has been Jekyll and Hyde for the Jackets lately, as they won 1-0 in the previous game against the Dallas Stars on Thursday while losing 4-1 on home ice against the Ottawa Senators prior to that. The Blue Jackets have been so confusing. Last season they split the 4-game series with the Flyers. Still, the offense has averaged 3.8 goals in the past 7 games despite those low-scoring totals against the Stars and Senators. I’ll go high on the total for this Flyers vs Blue Jackets best bet.
