Every bet we like in this game

Philadelphia Flyers vs Ottawa Senators: Under 5.5 Total Goals (-112)

Both the Philadelphia Flyers and Ottawa Senators have been showing some tight defensive play lately, making it tough to score. The Senators have won 5 of their last 10 games, but they're not lighting up the scoreboard. With both teams having many players who shoot left, their shooting angles might limit scoring chances. The pick here is to bet on the total goals being under 5.5. Even though our numbers suggest a combined total of about 6.1, the teams are closely matched and could struggle to find the back of the net. The biggest risk is that they could easily get hot and surprise us with more goals than expected.

Philadelphia Flyers vs Ottawa Senators: Philadelphia Flyers 3rd Period Moneyline (+122)

The Philadelphia Flyers need to step up in the third period to win this game against the Ottawa Senators. They've been solid at home, and with the Senators being a bit inconsistent lately, the Flyers have a good chance to take control as the game winds down. Both teams have had a similar number of players who shoot left, but the Flyers might have an advantage with home ice. This matchup is close, and it's worth noting that the Senators have won five out of their last ten games, which shows they can be tough. Still, the Flyers will want to finish strong at Xfinity Mobile Arena.

Philadelphia Flyers vs Ottawa Senators: Philadelphia Flyers 3-Way Moneyline (+200)

For the Philadelphia Flyers to win tonight, they need to outplay the Ottawa Senators on their home ice. The Flyers have shown they can compete, especially since they have a mix of players shooting both left and right. This balance could help them find scoring chances against the Senators, who have been inconsistent lately, winning 5 out of their last 10 games. The Flyers are considered an underdog in this matchup, but they have a real shot at pulling off the victory. The Senators aren't a perfect team, and they can struggle to keep up with strong offensive plays. However, it's worth noting that both teams are still finding their rhythm in this new season, which could make this game closer than expected.

Philadelphia Flyers vs Ottawa Senators: Stephen Halliday Under 1.5 Shots on Goal (-120)

Stephen Halliday hasn't been getting many shots on goal lately, which makes this bet interesting. With the Flyers facing the Senators, it's worth noting that Halliday may struggle to find space against a tough Ottawa defense. The Senators have won 5 of their last 10 games, showing they're finding their rhythm, which could limit Halliday's chances even more. The Flyers have a lot of players who shoot left, and that might make it harder for Halliday to get open looks. While our numbers suggest there's a good chance he stays under 1.5 shots, we should remember that he could surprise us if he finds a good spot on the ice. It's a close matchup, so be ready for anything.
