Flyers vs Canadiens Pickswise Expert Predictions

Money Line Pick
MTL Canadiens Win(-140)

The Montreal Canadiens will be welcoming the Philadelphia Flyers to the Bell Centre on Tuesday night. They are hosting a Flyers team that is riding a three-game losing streak. Their offensive struggles seem to be continuing. They are averaging only 2.81 goals per game on the season. This is far less than the 3.22 goals per game that the Canadiens average. There is also a fairly big mismatch in the powerplay unit efficiency between these teams. The Canadiens unit is operating at 26.4% and is very lethal, while the Flyers unit is struggling, working at only 16.5%. This will be a significant advantage for the Canadiens as the Flyers are one of the most penalized teams in the NHL.

The Canadiens have some elite scoring talent at the top end of their lineup, led by Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki. They have 37 and 33 points on the season, respectively. The Flyers do not have the fire power to keep up with the likes of these players. The Canadiens should be able to get it done on home ice on Tuesday. Give me the Canadiens on the money line.

Flyers vs. Canadiens prediction: Canadiens ML (-140) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
