Calgary Flames vs Philadelphia Flyers Betting Preview
The Calgary Flames are desperate for a spark as their road trip continues Sunday against the Philadelphia Flyers at Xfinity Mobile Arena. Puck drop is set for 7 p.m. ET on NBCS.
Calgary enters at 2-9-2 and has dropped three straight. The effort has been there, but execution remains an issue. Rasmus Andersson admitted the team “can’t go off-script,” while Jonathan Huberdeau emphasized the need for faster starts.
The Flyers, 6-4-1, saw their three-game winning streak snapped in a 5-2 loss to Toronto. Rick Tocchet’s team is still trending up, winning five of its last seven overall. Philadelphia has been strong at home and will try to exploit Calgary’s defensive lapses early.

Line Movement and Odds
According to the latest NHL odds, the Flyers opened around -135 and have climbed to -145 on the moneyline, reflecting sharper money backing the home side. Calgary sits at +125, with the total steady at 6 goals.
Public bettors lean toward Philadelphia, but sharp action has hit the Over after both teams have combined for 18 goals in their last three contests.
Matchup Breakdown
The Calgary Flames team page shows a club generating volume but lacking finish. They rank among the top five in shots on goal, yet near the bottom in shooting percentage. Nazem Kadri leads with 10 points in 13 games, while the team continues to search for balanced scoring beyond the top line.
Philadelphia, detailed on the Philadelphia Flyers team page, has benefited from Trevor Zegras’ hot start (13 points in 11 games) and a steady defensive core led by Travis Sanheim. Their power play ranks midpack, but their forecheck has consistently tilted ice time.
The key battle: Calgary’s forecheck pressure against the Flyers’ transition game. If the Flames can sustain offensive-zone time, they can force turnovers and create rebound looks against Dan Vladar.
