The Battle of Pennsylvania is a battle again, with the Pittsburgh Penguins heading to Xfinity Mobile Arena to face the Philadelphia Flyers in Game 6 of their opening-round series Wednesday, April 29.
My top Penguins vs. Flyers predictions and NHL picks are calling for another low-scoring bout between the division rivals.
Penguins vs Flyers best bet: First period Under 1.5 goals (+100)
Goals have been at a particular premium during the first period of this low-scoring series.
The Pittsburgh Penguins have only scored three times in the opening frame, and the Philadelphia Flyers have been held off the scoreboard entirely.
So, while I initially leaned to the Under 5.5 (+100), I think this first-period Under is the better play because there’s always potential for an early goalie pull in an elimination game.
I also value the Pittsburgh goalie switch to Arturs Silovs. He’s sporting a rock-solid .920 save percentage with 1.75 goals saved above expected across his two starts.
Penguins vs Flyers Game 6 same-game parlay
While I do think Silovs will play well in Game 6, his body of work suggests maintaining a .920 SV% and 0.702 GSAx per 60 minutes is asking too much. He finished the regular season with respective .887% and -0.318 marks across 39 games, after all.
Additionally, while difficult to quantify, the go-to Penguins are far older than the best players jumping the boards for the Flyers. So, I expect the physical toll of the series to catch up to Pittsburgh in its third consecutive elimination game.
Turning to the final leg of this same-game parlay, Philly defenseman Jamie Drysdale has quietly had a strong postseason and recorded two or more shots in each of the past three games while averaging a respectable 20:15 per night for the series.
