The Olympic break is straight ahead, and the Ottawa Senators will play their final game before the layoff against the Philadelphia Flyers at Xfinity Mobile Arena on Thursday, February 5.

My top Senators vs. Flyers predictions and NHL picks are calling for Ottawa leaving the City of Brotherly Love with a win tonight.  

Senators vs Flyers prediction

Senators vs Flyers best bet: Senators moneyline (-125)

The Ottawa Senators have elite underlying numbers at 5-on-5 with a fourth-ranked Corsi For percentage and expected goals percentage, and No. 1 goalie Linus Ullmark has looked the part in his two starts since returning to action.

Ullmark has turned away 40 of 43 shots for a .930 SV% across the consecutive wins, and he’s also stopped 1.63 goals above expected.

With the Philadelphia Flyers ranking 24th in CF% and 15th in xGF% at 5-on-5, I am expecting Ottawa to head into the Olympic break in winning fashion.

Senators vs Flyers same-game parlay

Sens winger Drake Batherson has picked up a point in four consecutive games and is skating with leading scorer Tim Stutzle on the top line and No. 1 power-play unit. With Batherson and Stutzle being on the ice for a high-end 5.51 goals per 60 minutes this season, look for No. 19 to mark the scoresheet again tonight.

Turning to the final leg of this same-game parlay, Ottawa defenseman Thomas Chabot has registered two or more shots in 16 of 23 games since returning from an upper-body injury, and he’s settled into a secondary role on the blue line behind No. 1 Jake Sanderson.

Softer matchups have been helpful with Chabot ranking third on the Sens in attempts (111) while also sporting an impressive 54 CF% at 5-on-5 across the 23-game stretch.

Neil takes a numbers-based approach to his handicapping and complements his in-depth statistical analysis with a keen eye on the markets to provide the best available odds. He loves to lean on his rolodex of idioms to offset his inner nerd. When it comes to wagering, he throws down on anything that catches his eye at bet365, Betway and BetVictor. He also keeps a close eye on CoolBet because the polar bear brand often has outlier NHL and NFL moneyline prices.

Neil graduated with honors from St. Thomas University in 2007 before completing his BEd at Acadia University in 2010. After teaching a myriad of courses and subjects, he found a groove delivering fun lessons to exceptional learners in non-traditional classroom environments. If his decade-plus teaching run taught him anything about sports betting, it’s to stay the course and use the summer – or offseason – to refresh and prepare to be better in the year to come.
