Vancouver at Philadelphia

Philadelphia will play its first game of the season and the Flyers are hoping goalie Carter Hart can rebound from a season when he finished 9-11-5 with an .877 save percentage. He will have a better defense in front of him as the Flyers added veterans Ryan Ellis, Rasmus Ristolainen and Keith Yandle to the blue line. They also added right wing Cam Atkinson. Vancouver lost a shootout to Edmonton on Wednesday after Quinn Hughes had sent the game into overtime by scoring with 2:49 left in regulation. The Canucks have lost 12 of their past 16 games dating to last season and they have lost four of the last five meetings at Philadelphia. The Flyers are 55-27 their past 82 games as favorites. Take the Flyers.
