The Philadelphia Flyers (1-1-1) complete a 4-game road trip against the Seattle Kraken (2-2-0) on Thursday at Climate Pledge Arena. Puck drop is scheduled for 10:00 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Let's analyze the 24/7 NHL odds from BetMGM Sportsbook Flyer against Kraken Opportunities and meet our NHL expert picks and predictions.

Season Series: First Meeting; Last season tied 1-1

The Flyers opened the season in Vancouver with a 3-2 shootout win. They were up 6-3 in Calgary and squandered a late lead in a 4-3 loss in Edmonton. The Over has won money in each of the last two games.

At the beginning of the season, the Kraken alternated between victories and defeats. After a 2-0 loss in Dallas on Sunday, Seattle bounced back to defeat Nashville (+170) 7-3 on Tuesday in Music City. The Under and Over have also each won money in the first four games, although the Over (6) obviously cashed in money last time out against the Preds.

The home team has won three straight meetings in the series, and the minor team won money in both meetings of the 2023/24 regular season.

Flyers at Kraken projected goalkeeper

Samuel Ersson (1-0-1, 2.86 GAA, .898 SV%) vs. Philipp Grubauer (0-2-0, 2.59 GAA, 0.896 SV%)

Ersson is expected to compete again on Thursday. He allowed 4 goals on 31 shots in Edmonton, failing in overtime. He didn't face the Kraken last season, but he stopped 9 of the 11 shots he faced in a backup appearance on February 16, 2023 in Seattle.

Grubauer has only allowed 5 goals on 48 shots so far, but the offensive support has been poor. The Kraken skaters only scored 2 goals in support, while they scored 12 goals in 2 wins for his Seattle colleague Joey Daccord.

Flyer at Kraken tips and predictions

forecast

Flyer 3, Kraken 2

Money line

The FLYERS (+115) are a solid performance as slight underdogs at CPA Thursday.

The Kraken (-135) found it difficult to provide much support with Grubauer in the goal area. It's a bit awkward, but until the offense helps him, go with the opposition.

Puck Line/Against the Spread

The Flyers +1.5 (-225) will cost you more than twice your potential return if you want a little insurance. That's way too much risk for not nearly enough reward. There is never a reason to bet on an underdog at the puck line at such a high price. In fact, supporting the “dog” in this case is a rarity.

HAPPEN.

Over/Under

UNDER 6 (-120) is the lean one, but you have to go with a Half-unit game at best.

The Under is 2-0 in both of Grubauer's starts, and the only previous home game for the Kraken went poorly.

For the Flyers, the under cashed in Vancouver, but the over scored in the last two games. The Under met in both regular season meetings between these teams in 2023-24.
