Pittsburgh Penguins vs Philadelphia Flyers Prediction, Odds and Stanley Cup Playoffs Game 3 Picks for Today, 04/22/26

The Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers shift their series to Xfinity Mobile Center in Philadelphia for Game 3 on Wednesday night. The Penguins hope the change of venue helps, as they absolutely laid an egg in 2 games at PPG Paints Arena to open the series, frittering away home-ice advantage after finishing second place in the Metropolitan Division. The Flyers earned a 3-2 win in Game 1 as short underdogs (+118), and they posted a 3-0 victory in Monday’s game as even bigger dogs (+126) as the Under (6) cashed for a second consecutive outing.

The Penguins have not been getting the same kind of play they had down the stretch. Pittsburgh was unable to solve Dan Vladar in Game 2, as he stopped all 27 shots. Stuart Skinner allowed just 2 goals on 23 shots for the Pens, but that was still not good enough. RW Porter Martone has been a handful in this series, going for 2 goals in 2 games, and RW Garnet Hathaway ended up with a goal and an assist in Game 2. It’s a new hero each night for the Flyers. The Under is 3-0-1 in the past 4 games for the Flyers, while the Under is 3-1 in the past 4 games for the Pens. With Pittsburgh facing a borderline must-win situation and its back against the wall, expect another low-scoring affair.

Penguins vs Flyers prediction: Under 5.5 (+100) available at time of publishing. Playable to -110.
