NHL Betting Preview: Penguins vs Flyers

The Pittsburgh Penguins square off against the Philadelphia Flyers in their season opener at Xfinity Mobile Arena, with face-off scheduled for 19:30 on Wednesday, September 30.

The -143 about the Flyers look very attractive when it comes to the Moneyline. We think the Penguins can be beaten, so this is our prediction.

Pittsburgh Penguins continue to lean on their veteran core of Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang, while adding Nick Robertson and Trevor van Riemsdyk during the offseason. Philadelphia Flyers strengthened their roster with goaltender Joseph Woll, defenseman Simon Benoit and former Penguin Noel Acciari, while Samuel Ersson and Garnet Hathaway moved on.

Pittsburgh Penguins were eliminated from the playoffs following a 1-0 overtime defeat against Philadelphia Flyers at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference First Round. The result gave Philadelphia a 4-2 series victory. Pittsburgh goalie Arturs Silovs made 31 saves (.969), while the Penguins were shut out despite registering 42 shots.

Philadelphia Flyers' season ended with a 3-2 overtime home defeat against Carolina Hurricanes at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Second Round. The loss completed a 4-0 series sweep for Carolina. Tyson Foerster and Alex Bump scored for Philadelphia, while goalie Dan Vladar made 37 saves (.925).
