The current betting odds have the Flyers listed as an underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Flyers have looked good in their games this season with their 29-19-6 record overall which has them in 3rd place of their division in the East and in a playoff spot right now. They have some momentum on their side here with a win in their last game and they have also looked better in their road games this year with their 15-7-4 road record. Meanwhile, the Leafs have also looked good in their games this season with their 27-16-8 record overall which has them in 4th place of their division in the East and fighting for a Wild Card spot right now. The Leafs, just like the Flyers, have been a better road team this season and just haven't looked as good on home ice with their 13-10-2 home record. The Leafs are also missing a lot of players from their lineup with injuries and suspensions right now. The Leafs haven't looked any better than the Flyers have lately with the Flyers being 5-5-0 in their last 10 while the Leafs are 6-4-0. The value is with the Flyers in this game considering how good they have been in their road games this year. The best way to place a bet here is on the Flyers to win this game and on the puckline.
