The Olympic break is nearing, and the Ottawa Senators are set to play their last game before the hiatus against the Philadelphia Flyers at Xfinity Mobile Arena on Thursday, February 5th. Based on my predictions, Ottawa is favored to beat Philadelphia and leave the City of Brotherly Love victorious.
Senators vs. Flyers Predictions
Top Prediction: Senators to win outright (Moneyline: -125)
Ottawa boasts a strong 5-on-5 lineup, with Linus Ullmark, their primary goaltender, returning and performing well—stopping 40 of 43 shots during recent games with a save percentage of .930. Conversely, the Flyers rank low in puck possession and expected goal percentage at 5-on-5 (24th in CF% and 15th in xGF%), leading to the expectation that Ottawa will edge out a win going into the break.
Same Game Parlay Suggestion
For a potential bet, consider betting on Senators winger Drake Batherson to record at least one point in the game—he’s scored in four straight contests and plays on the top line’s power play with top scorer Tim Stutzle, with both combining to average over 5.5 goals per hour on ice this season. Additionally, Ottawa’s Thomas Chabot, who has been shooting frequently—aiming at least 1.5 shots on goal in most recent games—has maintained a solid secondary blue line role, especially against softer matchups.
Parlay Options:
- Drake Batherson to net 0.5+ points
- Thomas Chabot to take 1.5+ shots on goal
Odds Overview:
- Moneyline: Senators -125, Flyers +105
- Puck line: Senators -1.5 (+190), Flyers +1.5 (-230)
