Our third and final game of NHL predictions has the Philadelphia Flyers visiting the Vancouver Canucks. Daniel Vladar is expected to get the call in between the pipes for this game. Flyers bench boss Rick Tocchet makes his return to Vancouver, and the Flyers are 4-2-4 in their previous 10 games. Trevor Zegras is having a great first season in Philadelphia with the team’s lead in goals (15) and points (37).

Thatcher Demko is the projected starter for the Canucks, who are 6-4 in their previous 10 games. Vancouver suffered a 5-2 loss in Philadelphia in a Monday Night Hockey on Prime matchup. Kiefer Sherwood leads the team in goals so far this season with 16.

The Canucks have been better as of late, but the Flyers get the win.

Prediction: Flyers win 3-2.

Prop Bets of the Night

We round out NHL predictions with some prop bets of the night. Let’s go back to our featured game for our preferred props. The over under for the Canadiens versus the Panthers is 6.5, and we like the over in this.

As for individual props, take Nick Suzuki to get a multiple-point night for Montreal. On the Florida side of things, go with Anton Lundell to get an anytime goal.
