Flyers vs Avalanche Prediction, Picks & Same-Game Parlay for Tonight’s NHL Game

The Colorado Avalanche are known as a high-flying offensive side — understandably so — but they are also the league’s best at keeping the puck out.

Playing at home against a low-event team, my Flyers vs. Avalanche predictions expect a relatively low-scoring affair.

Let’s dive into my NHL picks for Friday, January 23.

Flyers vs Avalanche prediction

Flyers vs Avalanche best bet: Under 6.5 (-115)

The Colorado Avalanche are 20-1-4 on home soil this season and have conceded a league-low of 2.08 goals per game in Colorado.

As good as they are offensively, they’re equally as effective at controlling the puck and giving opposing teams very few chances to generate opportunities.

That should be the case in this matchup. The Philadelphia Flyers rank Bottom-12 in goals per game, and they’ve played at the league’s slowest 5-on-5 pace this season.

Philadelphia will be looking to turn this contest into a snoozefest, happy to punt on offense if it gives them a better chance of holding up defensively.

They are expected to get Dan Vladar back between the pipes for this game as well. He owns a solid .905 SV% on the season and has drastically out-performed backup Sam Ersson.

Slowing down a lethal Avalanche offense is a difficult task, but Vladar is capable of holding them to a manageable number.

These two sides have already played this season, and that game finished 3-2 with 53 total shots. Don’t be surprised if we see something similar this time around.

Flyers vs Avalanche same-game parlay

The Avalanche have won 20 of 25 home games this season. Coming off a disappointing loss to a banged up Ducks team, we should expect a good response in this spot.

Brent Burns has teed off without Devon Toews in the lineup. He is averaging 3.5 shots on 6.3 attempts and has cleared this line in seven of eight, including seven in a row.

Burns also had three shots on seven attempts against Philadelphia back in December.
