The Vancouver Canucks have been playing some solid hockey away from British Columbia of late and will look to pick up their seventh win in 10 outings away from Rogers Arena when they pay a visit to the City of Brotherly Love on Tuesday.
Sportsbook opened the Canucks as +150 road underdogs with a total of 5.5.
It hasn’t been all sunshine and rainbows for Vancouver, though. The squad started the year with a 6-3-1 SU record but has gone 3-5-2 since. The Canucks reside in the bottom third of the league in goals scored per game (2.55, 25th), goals allowed (2.80, 20th), power play (16.3 percent, 22nd) and penalty kill (79.5, 20th).
Philly was shut out twice in three games before seeing a two-goal lead go down the tubes thanks to three power-play goals by the Calgary Flames in Saturday’s 5-4 loss. Philadelphia fared well vs Vancouver last season, however, as the Flyers claimed both meetings with the Canucks in 2016-17.
Philadelphia’s recent struggles can be largely attributed to poor performances against bad teams. In the Flyers’ last seven vs clubs with losing records, they’re 1-6 SU.
