The reigning Stanley Cup champion Carolina Hurricanes enter tonight’s contest against the winless Philadelphia Flyers as 63% favorites when the puck drops at 7 p.m. ET.
Sebastian Aho is off to a hot start this season, and my Hurricanes vs. Flyers predictions break down why he’ll lead Carolina to a fifth straight win.
Read my full NHL picks for Sunday, Oct. 11 below.
TOP PICK
Hurricanes vs Flyers prediction: Hurricanes moneyline
After losing their first two games of the season, the Carolina Hurricanes are hitting their stride with four straight wins and five-plus goals in each of their last three contests. I’d play Carolina up to 66% tonight.
The Philadelphia Flyers are trending the opposite way — Philly is one of only three teams without a win this season, while their 4.00 goals against per game is the fifth-worst mark in the NHL.
Unsurprisingly, the reigning Stanley Cup champs have been a dominant team, just like last season. The Canes rank in the Top 5 in goals for per game (3.83), shots per game (32.2), and shots against per game (21.8).
Carolina has won five straight meetings against Philadelphia and 17 of the last 20. That trend will hold tonight.
COVERS INTEL: Carolina has controlled 63.14% of expected goals (second) and 60.71% of shot attempts (first) at all strengths this season. Philadelphia ranks last in shot attempts (37.08%) and second-last in expected goals (31.02%).
Hurricanes vs Flyers combo
The Hurricanes are averaging six goals per game on their own over their last three contests, with Over 5.5 total goals in four of their last five games.
A deep Carolina squad features five different players with at least three goals, and the Hurricanes will be able to run up the score again vs. one of the worst defenses in the NHL.
Sebastian Aho has found the back of the net in four of his last five outings — a stretch that includes a two-goal, three-point performance against the Flyers on Oct. 3.
Hurricanes vs Flyers combo
- Hurricanes moneyline
- Over 5.5
- Sebastian Aho 1+ goals
Hurricanes vs Flyers player prop: Andrei Svechnikov 3+ shots on goal
Andrei Svechnikov is firing the puck at will early on this season, averaging 3.5 shots per game with 3+ shots in four of his last five outings. He’s playable for 3+ shots up to 62%.
Svechnikov leads Carolina with 39 shot attempts and 12 high-danger chances, and he should find plenty of room against a brutal Flyers defense that’s allowing an NHL-worst 36 shots against per game.
Hurricanes vs Flyers goal scorer: Sebastian Aho
Aho leads the Hurricanes with five goals, and I’d take him to score tonight up to 37%.
Aho is shooting a ridiculous 22.73%, but his early season success has been more than just puck luck — he’s being rewarded for generating a ton of chances.
The Hurricanes center ranks second on the team with 2.85 individual expected goals and leads his club with 23 scoring chances.
