He last played on Saturday against the Carolina Panthers in an overtime loss, where he allowed four goals on 39 shot attempts. As a team, Philly ranks eighth in hockey with just eight goals allowed so far. They have been slightly better than the league average in terms of killing penalties as they have killed 12-of-14 (85.71 percent) of them.

Winnipeg Jets at Philadelphia Flyers Pick
Spread Pick for Jets vs. Flyers
- Winnipeg Jets -135 (4 units)
The Winnipeg Jets are the better team in this matchup and should be able to record a win against the Philadelphia Flyers. Winnipeg’s offense has taken control as they have scored eight goals during their two-game winning streak. The Flyers are going to have a bit of an uphill battle with Samuel Ersson, their backup goaltender, in the net. Connor Hellebuyck’s stats are not looking too great thus far, but that is just two games and he looked a lot better in his most recent game. All in all, go with the Winnipeg Jets to win this game on the road as the better choice.
Over/Under Pick for Jets vs. Flyers
- UNDER 5.5 (5 units)
Neither offense has been able to be too aggressive with the puck as they are not getting too many shots on the opposing net in the early stages of the season. Winnipeg is 22nd in the sport with 26.0 shots on goal per game, while Philadelphia is down at 29th place with 23.3 shots on goal per game entering this matchup. Both teams have also shown an ability to defend on special teams as they are above the league average in killing penalties through their first handful of games. With both teams off since Monday, they are rested up for this matchup as well, so go with UNDER 5.5 GOALS to hit in this game.
