It’s a Keystone State clash on Thursday as the Penguins host the Flyers at PPG Paints Arena.
Pittsburgh finds itself in the basement of the Metropolitan division and has lost four games in a row. Included in that stretch is a 6-1 loss to Philadelphia in their most recent contest.
Philadelphia’s season-long efforts haven’t been great, but they’re currently amidst a three-game winning streak. With a win on Thursday, they’d clinch the season series against Pittsburgh.

Penguins vs. Flyers Prediction
Based on one historically profitable NHL betting system, the Penguins vs. Flyers prediction for Thursday’s game is the Flyers Moneyline (-105).
Alternatively, the same system works for bettors wanting to take the Flyers Puck Line. However, that price is -275, so it would prove a smaller return on investment should it hit.
As a function of their dominant performance over Pittsburgh on Tuesday night, Philadelphia matches a historically profitable system.
Since 2005, road underdogs in games 32-82 are 65-57 SU and 95-27 ATS, assuming two additional factors:
- The opponent’s previous game margin falls between -7 and -4
- The dog’s previous margin in the last meeting falls between +2 and +6
That system produces an exponentially higher return on investment when the contest is a divisional game.
Add that qualifier to the sample and bettors will find the underdog is 31-21 SU and 44-8 ATS over the same time period.
Irrespective of whether it’s a divisional game, the Penguins were the opponent seven times in the former sample.
In those seven contests, opponents are 5-2 SU and 6-1 ATS.
