The Montreal Canadiens are locked into a first-round matchup with the Tampa Bay Lightning, but home ice is still yet to be decided.

With plenty to play for, my Canadiens vs. Flyers predictions expect Montreal to put its best foot forward and earn a big two points in Philadelphia.

Let’s break down my NHL picks for Tuesday, April 14.

Canadiens vs Flyers prediction

Canadiens vs Flyers best bet: Canadiens moneyline (-160)

The Philadelphia Flyers sit third in the Metro and can’t move in the standings, making them unlikely to ice a full lineup in this back-to-back.

Samuel Ersson is expected to get the nod in goal, and it’d be surprising if several key players didn’t sit out in front of him.

That sets up well for the Montreal Canadiens. They are still pushing for home ice in their series against Tampa Bay, giving them enough incentive to take this game seriously.

They should be able to take advantage of a watered-down lineup and Ersson, who owns a poor .867 SV% this season.

Canadiens vs Flyers same-game parlay

Cole Caufield sits one goal back of Nathan MacKinnon for the league lead and could win sole possession of the Rocket Richard Trophy with a multi-goal showing. His elite finishing ability should come to light against Ersson.

Nick Suzuki is one of the best playmakers in the sport and correlates heavily with Caufield, as evidenced by the fact he’s assisted in nine of the past 10 games Caufield scored in.
