Boston Bruins vs Philadelphia Flyers Prediction & Picks, December 20, 2026

Tonight, we're betting on the total goals being under 5.5 when the Boston Bruins take on the Philadelphia Flyers. The Bruins have been decent lately, winning five of their last ten games, while the Flyers have really struggled, managing only one win in their last ten. With both teams showing signs of low-scoring games, this could be a night where goals are hard to come by. Both teams are also very close in terms of talent, which makes this a tough matchup. The Bruins are playing at home, and they have a better recent record, but the Flyers will be looking to turn things around. It's possible that the game ends up being tighter than expected, so we could see a low score.

Boston Bruins vs Philadelphia Flyers: Boston Bruins 3-Way Moneyline (+115)

The Boston Bruins have been looking stronger lately, winning 5 out of their last 10 games. They have a solid mix of left and right shooters on their team, which helps them create chances in different ways. On the other hand, the Philadelphia Flyers are struggling, managing to win only 1 of their last 10 games. This matchup is rated close to even, but the Bruins have the home advantage at TD Garden. The Flyers might find it tough to break out of their slump against a team that is more consistent right now. The biggest risk is how close the teams are in terms of chances, so it could be a tight game. Still, taking the Bruins seems like a good bet.

Boston Bruins vs Philadelphia Flyers: Philadelphia Flyers 3rd Period Moneyline (+120)

The Philadelphia Flyers have struggled lately, winning only 1 of their last 10 games. However, they're facing the Boston Bruins, who have also had their ups and downs with 5 wins in their last 10. This matchup is like a close race, and the Flyers could surprise everyone, especially with odds of +120 for the third period. The Bruins have home ice, but their recent performance has been shaky. The Flyers have a shot at turning things around when the pressure is on.

Boston Bruins vs Philadelphia Flyers: Connor Clifton Over 0.5 Points (+330)

For the Bruins to win this bet, Connor Clifton needs to score at least one point against the Flyers. The Bruins have been doing better lately, winning five of their last ten games, while the Flyers have really struggled, only winning one of their last ten. This makes the Bruins a strong favorite tonight at home. While Clifton isn't the top scorer, he plays a part in their offense, and with the Flyers' defense looking shaky, he has a real chance to get on the scoreboard. The biggest risk is that the Flyers can surprise anyone on a good day, but given their recent form, it seems more likely Clifton will find a way to contribute tonight.

Boston Bruins vs Philadelphia Flyers: Dan Vladar Over 32.5 Saves (+750)

Dan Vladar has a great chance to make a lot of saves in this game because the Philadelphia Flyers have been struggling lately, winning only one of their last ten games. They might be desperate to score, which could lead to a lot of shots on goal. Playing against a team like the Bruins, who have won five of their last ten, will put even more pressure on him to step up. While Vladar is capable of handling a heavy workload, the Flyers could surprise everyone if they find their scoring touch, making this a risky pick. Still, with the way they've been playing, it seems likely that he'll have plenty of opportunities to rack up those saves. Betting on over 32.5 saves could pay off well if everything goes as expected.
