Anaheim Ducks vs. Philadelphia Flyers Betting Preview
Start in the crease, because neither starter is confirmed yet. Ville Husso made 25 saves for Anaheim in Thursday’s 4-1 loss in New Jersey, which points toward Lukas Dostal returning for the finale. Dostal is 3-4-0 with a 3.16 goals-against average and an .881 save percentage, per Daily Faceoff’s projected starters for October 24. Those numbers are below league average, and they explain much of the slide.
Philadelphia has alternated Joseph Woll and Dan Vladar almost game by game. Vladar made 27 saves in Wednesday’s 3-1 win at Buffalo, so the rotation sets up Woll. He is 1-3-2 with a 2.64 GAA and a .917 save percentage. In contrast to Dostal, Woll has been the steadier goalie, and he made 24 saves in Monday’s 3-2 win over Colorado. Treat every goaltending read here as provisional until the starters are announced.
The skaters tell the rest of the story. Anaheim opened 4-1-0 and has since been outscored 20-9 during five straight regulation losses. Coach Joel Quenneville said after Thursday’s game that his team keeps falling behind early and chasing. The Ducks managed only 17 shots against the Devils, per the NHL.com recap of the 4-1 loss in Newark. They are also without Troy Terry, Ryan Poehling and Ian Moore, and Pavel Mintyukov went on injured reserve Friday.
Philadelphia is 3-6-3 and seventh in the Metropolitan Division. The Flyers scored three goals in each of their last three games after failing to reach three in any of their first nine. Still, they average about 1.7 goals per game for the season. Travis Konecny, Owen Tippett, Nikita Grebenkin and Cam York remain on the injury list, with York’s status uncertain after he practiced Friday. The teams last met on March 18, when Noah Cates won it 3-2 in overtime in Anaheim.
Special teams have not rescued Anaheim either. According to Pucks of a Feather, the Ducks went 0-for-14 on the power play during the skid. Their penalty kill ran at 64.7% over the same stretch. Cutter Gauthier, a 41-goal scorer last season, is also shooting just 6.7% so far. On the other side, Philadelphia’s power play finished last in the league last season, and fixing it was a priority for coach Rick Tocchet. However, Matvei Michkov did convert on the man advantage in Monday’s win over Colorado. A leaky Ducks kill against a Flyers unit showing signs of life is the one matchup that could push scoring up.

Ducks vs. Flyers Prediction — Does the Flyers’ Crease Rotation Hand Woll the Net?
Goaltending comes first in any total, and the edge in the crease points to Philadelphia. Of the projected starters, Woll’s .917 mark is the best, well above Dostal’s .881. The Flyers also play a low-event style. Ten of their 12 games have finished with fewer than six goals, and one more landed exactly on six. Their only game above six was the 7-0 opening loss to Pittsburgh.
Anaheim’s attack is not likely to change that picture. Anaheim is 4-0-0 when it scores at least three goals, and it has not reached three once during this slide. The Ducks have scored nine goals across the five-game skid, and Thursday’s 17 shots were the fewest the Devils have allowed this season. A 1 p.m. puck drop at the end of an East Coast trip is also a 10 a.m. body clock for a Pacific team. Meanwhile, the market agrees with the read. The total opened with the Under at -117, and the juice has since moved further toward that side while the Over drifted to even money.
The case against is real. Dostal’s form is the biggest risk, because a goalie stopping 88% of shots can turn a quiet game into a 4-3 final. Philadelphia’s recent three-goal outputs also suggest the offense may be waking up. Empty-net goals can stretch late one-goal games, and overtime adds a goal to any tie. Still, the goaltending edge and the market’s direction outweigh those risks.
The Pick: Under 6.0 (-120)
Ducks vs. Flyers Prediction — A Saturday Matinee to Close a Winless Ducks Road Trip
This read shares its inputs with the total, so treat it as related rather than independent. Both picks rest on Woll starting and on Anaheim’s offense staying cold. The situational case favors the home team. The Flyers are chasing a fourth straight win, and Anaheim is trying to avoid a winless trip. The Ducks have lost to both New York clubs and New Jersey, while Philadelphia has had an extra day off since Wednesday. The price asks for a break-even in the mid-50s, which is fair for a rested home team in better form with the better goalie.
However, the edge is thinner here. Anaheim is 3-3-0 on the road, so travel alone does not sink this team. The moneyline has barely moved from its -122 open, and 86% of puck line tickets sit on Anaheim, so the market signal is weak. The Flyers’ underlying play early in the season was poor, and three wins do not erase that. A low total also means a large share of outcomes land within one goal. That makes needing a two-goal margin a poor trade, even at a plus price.
The Pick: Flyers Moneyline (-125)
Our Final Word on Ducks vs. Flyers
Both plays hinge on the morning goalie confirmations, so check whether Woll and Dostal are in net before betting. For more on how each team reached this spot, see our Flyers vs. Sabres prediction and the Ducks vs. Islanders prediction from earlier on this trip. The Under 6.0 at -120 is the stronger play. It is backed by Woll’s .917 save percentage and a Flyers team that has stayed under six in 10 of 12 games. The Flyers moneyline at -125 is the lean, built on a rested home team facing a Ducks club that has lost five straight.
