Flyers vs Canucks Prediction and Picks
Philadelphia Flyers vs Vancouver Canucks Prediction and Pick - ExpertPicks
Vancouver have allowed 87 goals in 19 games, and even a tired Philadelphia team should find chances.
The Flyers play the second half of a back-to-back against a Canucks side that has lost five straight, and for this Flyers vs Canucks prediction at Rogers Arena the players carry more appeal than either team, with puck drop at 9.30 p.m. ET.
Brock Boeser is the steadiest bet on the board. He has a point in 13 of 19 games, eight of his last 10 and four straight, with goals in each of the last two.
Matvei Michkov at +190 is the bigger price I like. He's scored in eight of 19 games and five of his last 10, and Vancouver's 63.5% penalty kill is an obvious target for a winger with five power-play goals.
He hasn't scored in three games, which is the honest concern. But neither Vancouver goalie is above .889 and they give up 31.2 shots a night, so the looks should come.
Trevor Zegras over 2.5 shots on goal rounds it out at +185. He's cleared it in nine of 19 games and seven of his last 10.
I'm passing on the side and the total. Philadelphia are 1-6-2 on the road, and the over hasn't hit often enough this season at -154.
Key Stats and Trends
- Boeser has 16 points, including seven goals, this season.
- Michkov has 10 goals on 27 shots this season.
- Zegras has 40 shots on goal and 14 points in 19 games.
- Vancouver have conceded first in 13 of 19 games.
Head to Head
Philadelphia swept the 2025-26 series 2-0, winning 5-2 at home and 6-3 at Rogers Arena. Tonight is the first of two meetings this season.
The last game was December 30, 2025, and Vancouver led 1-0 after David Kampf scored early. The Flyers then scored three straight, and when Drew O'Connor pulled one back in the third, Bobby Brink restored the two-goal cushion 26 seconds later.
Flyers Form
Philadelphia are 4-4-2 in their last 10, and the goals have dried up. They average 2.21 a game, the power play sits at 17.2%, and neither Dan Vladar at .880 nor Joseph Woll at .899 has covered for it.
They lost 3-2 to the Rangers on Wednesday after leading 2-1 in the third. On Sunday in Calgary, Owen Tippett gave them a 3-2 lead on the power play before Joel Farabee was credited with a shorthanded tying goal and Matt Coronato won it in overtime.
Travis Konecny has played four games since returning from injury on November 1, and Rasmus Ristolainen remains on IR with a hand injury, according to CBS Sports in its latest list. Woll is expected to start after Vladar played on Sunday.
Canucks Form
Vancouver are 1-9 in their last 10, and the defence explains most of it. They've allowed 4.58 goals a game, the penalty kill sits at 63.5%, and Elias Pettersson's 19 points haven't been enough to keep pace.
Thursday's 6-2 loss in Winnipeg was over by the second period. On Saturday in Edmonton, Max Sasson tied it 1-1 late in the first, but the Oilers scored twice early in the third and Boeser's late goal only made it 3-2.
Tom Willander is day to day with a lower-body injury after missing the last three games, CBS Sports reports in its Sunday update, while Filip Chytil remains on IR. Leevi Meriläinen is expected to start after making the last two starts.
Verdict
My Flyers vs Canucks picks back Boeser to keep his run going and Philadelphia's two most dangerous forwards to test a struggling defence.
