Columbus Blue Jackets vs. Philadelphia Flyers Predictions
The Philadelphia Flyers are riding high on a four-game winning streak, looking to extend their success against a struggling Columbus Blue Jackets team that hasn’t tasted victory in their last eight outings. The Flyers’ recent form has been a testament to their resilience and ability to close out games, a quality they’ll aim to continue as they face off against the Blue Jackets at the Wells Fargo Center. With key players like Travis Konecny leading the charge offensively and Travis Sanheim setting up plays, the Flyers have found a rhythm that they’ll look to maintain in this divisional matchup.
On the other side of the ice, the Columbus Blue Jackets are desperate to snap their losing streak and climb out of the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings. Despite having talent in the form of Boone Jenner and Ivan Provorov, who leads the team in goals and points respectively, the Blue Jackets have struggled to find consistency. Their defense has been porous, and they’ll need to tighten up against a Flyers team that has been finding the back of the net with regularity during their winning streak.
This game will also feature a goaltending duel that could be the deciding factor. The Flyers are expected to start Samuel Ersson, who will be looking to improve his numbers against a Blue Jackets offense that has been underperforming. Meanwhile, the Blue Jackets’ goaltending situation has been less than ideal, with Elvis Merzlikins and others failing to provide the necessary stops to secure wins. As both teams prepare for the puck drop, all eyes will be on which team can execute their game plan more effectively to secure the win in this Eastern Conference showdown.
Columbus Blue Jackets vs. Philadelphia Flyers Pick
The trends and statistics leading up to this matchup between the Philadelphia Flyers and the Columbus Blue Jackets suggest that the Over is the right pick. The Blue Jackets have consistently hit the Over on the road this season, with a record of 7-1, and as underdogs, they’ve hit the Over 10 times out of 16. The Flyers, while more balanced in their Over/Under record, are coming into this game on a high-scoring winning streak, having won their last four games. With the total line set at 6.5 and considering that the majority of the last five head-to-head games have gone Over, there’s a strong indication that this trend will continue, especially with the Flyers’ offense clicking and the Blue Jackets’ defense struggling.
Furthermore, the most recent encounter between these two teams resulted in a combined total of 6 goals, just under the Over/Under line for the upcoming game. However, with the Flyers’ offense in better form now and the Blue Jackets desperate to break their losing streak, it’s likely that both teams will be pushing hard offensively. The Flyers’ ability to outshoot the Blue Jackets in their last meeting and the Blue Jackets’ tendency to allow goals suggest that we could see a high-scoring affair, tipping the total over the line. Therefore, despite some historical games hitting the Under, the current dynamics of both teams point towards an Over outcome in this Eastern Conference clash.
The Pick: Over 6.5 -110 (DraftKings)
