The Chicago Blackhawks (12-26-4) and Philadelphia Flyers (19-19-7) square off for a Thursday matchup at the Wells Fargo Center at 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Blackhawks vs. Flyers odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.
Chicago’s tank season has perhaps accidentally climbed back on the rails in recent weeks. The Blackhawks — losers of 13 of 14 from Dec. 4-Jan. 3 — have gone 4-1-0 since Jan. 6. When they hit the ice in Philadelphia, they’ll be looking to undo a losing skid longer than anything they endured in December — the Hawks haven’t won in Philadelphia since 1996.
The Flyers are also 4-1-0 in their last 5. A bottom-10 team in scoring for the season, Philadelphia has been finding quite a bit of twine at home recently. Across their last 5 games on home ice, the Flyers have averaged 4.6 goals per game.
