Philadelphia Flyers vs. Ottawa Senators Prediction: Odds, Best Bets & Player Props for February 6th
Published:
It’s time for some Thursday night hockey at the Xfinity Mobile Arena, where the Philadelphia Flyers are set to host the Ottawa Senators.
The Flyers enter this contest with a 25-20-10 record, desperately hoping to turn those frustrating “loser points” from double-digit overtime losses into actual regulation wins. Meanwhile, the Senators arrive in town with a 27-22-7 sheet and plenty of motivation going into the Olympic break.
Let’s be honest: this matchup features two squads who absolutely love to keep the red light busy—unfortunately, often behind their own netminders. With Ottawa allowing a generous 3.14 goals per game and Philadelphia sitting right there at a flat 3.00 against, we likely aren’t looking at a defensive clinic in the neutral zone. Instead, expect a chaotic, high-event evening where the Orange and Black try to leverage home ice to leapfrog their Canadian guests in the standings. Buckle up, Philadelphia; if the stats hold true, this one could get messy in the most entertaining way possible.

Philadelphia Flyers vs. Ottawa Senators Prediction & Best Bet
If you enjoy betting on teams that treat their own defensive zone like a turnstile, you might be tempted by the home dog here. For everyone else, the road team is the only logical look.
- Pick: both teams to score at least two goals
- Bonus Pick: Over 6.0 Goals
Let’s be real: the “home-ice advantage” at Xfinity Mobile Arena has been about as useful as a screen door on a submarine lately. The Flyers have gone a miserable 1-6 in their last seven games on home ice, essentially rolling out the red carpet for visitors. To make matters worse, the Senators have absolutely owned this head-to-head matchup, winning the last four consecutive games against Philadelphia.
Ottawa arrives in significantly better form, having won 4 of their last 5 contests, while the Flyers are stumbling with a 1-4 record in that same span. If you hate goaltending duels, you’re in luck, too. The Over has hit in 12 of Philadelphia’s last 18 games, and the Senators have seen the Over cash in 5 of their last 6 road games against bottom-tier defenses. With Ottawa averaging a healthy 3.32 goals per game and the Flyers surrendering a flat 3.00 per night, the goal lamp is going to get a serious workout.
Philadelphia Flyers Player Props
Based on the recent data, here are a couple of ways to attack the player prop market.
Travis Konecny Over 0.5 Assists
Konecny has recorded an assist in three of his last four games, averaging a respectable 1.0 helpers per contest in that span.
Considering the Senators are allowing over three goals per game, the Flyers are going to score eventually, and it’s a safe bet Konecny will be the one setting up the play on the rush or finishing it himself.
Sean Couturier Under 0.5 Points
It brings me no joy to say this, but the Captain has been a ghost lately. Couturier has failed to record a point in eight of his last nine games, mustering a meager 0.1 points per game average during that stretch.
Even worse, the veteran center seems to struggle most when the checking gets tight; he has been completely neutralized offensively for weeks. Until Couturier proves he can consistently contribute to the offense again, the smartest play is to assume his cold streak continues against an Ottawa team that, despite their defensive flaws, shouldn’t have much trouble keeping number 14 to the perimeter.
