The Flyers are off to a great start on the season with 2 wins and a SO loss at Vancouver. That one shoot out loss was in Philadelphia’s only road game thus far. They’ll have a huge test Tuesday at Scotiabank Saddledome.
Calgary has already played 3 more games than the Flyers which has to give them an edge in this one. The public likes the Flames in this one and bettors have made the ML climb to CAL -161 from a -148 open.
Philadelphia Flyers
The Flyers have played just 3 games since getting their season started 10 days ago. That mostly has to do with starting the year in Prague and the travel associated with that overseas visit.
The visit to Prague was a good one for Alain Vigneault’s squad as they scored a 4-3 win over the Blackhawks. 5 days later Philly beat New Jersey 4-0 but most recently dropped a 2-3 contest in Vancouver in the shootout.
Philadelphia has been the favorite in each of their first three games but that changes Tuesday with the line of PHI +140. The Flyers have built up a top 10 scoring offense though and have the league’s top power play unit.

Some of it has to do with the competition, the Flyers still have the league’s #2 defense in terms of goals against after the first couple weeks of the year. Carter Hart has gone 2-0 with a 1.62 GAA so far.
It’s not Hart, but Brian Elliott the probable starter for Tuesday’s game. This will be Elliott’s first game action of the season if he does indeed get the nod.
Calgary Flames
Calgary has the advantage of already having six games under their belt compared to just 3 for the Flyers. The Flames just got off a 3-game road trip in which they’ve lost the last two in.
The Flames have started the year 2-3-1 and that record is due mostly to their offense. Calgary has scored just 3 goals total in the last two games and haven’t broken the 3-goal mark in any game yet this season.
Johnny Gaudreau has gotten off to a good start this year with 3 goals and 4 assists through 6 games. Elias Lindholm also has put 3 pucks in the net but Calgary is still 22nd in scoring on the year.

David Rittich is the probable starter for Calgary on Tuesday. This will be his 6th game action of the year, but he’s also allowed 4+ goals in 3 of his first 5 outings. Does that give the Flyers the value here?

Free Calgary Flames vs. Philadelphia Flyers NHL Prediction:
Both of these offenses could be better so far through 2019/20 but Calgary has a bit more scoring potential overall. Rittich has been getting pelted in net for the Flyers, but Philadelphia’s Elliott is making his 1st start of the year.
