NHL Picks | The Flyers need to lock down Vancouver to start the season with a win

‍

The Canucks have a tough test against the Flyers on Friday night, and you know the key to beating Philly: you’ve gotta get Gritty. 

The Philadelphia Flyersare one of three teams to have not played their first game of the new NHL season yet.

‍

That will change tonight as the Vancouver Canucks travel across the country to greet them at the Flyers’ home opener. 

Something’s gotta give in this one,as the Canucks struggled defensively last year, while the Flyers spent the weird realigned NHL season struggling to score.

‍

Philly’s also looking for a bounce-back year from goaltender Carter Hart behind a slightly remodeled blue line core.

We’ll grab the Flyers to feed off that home opener energy in this one. Take Philly to win -155, and keep those nets empty, under 6 goals, -120.
