Its the latest installment of the Battle of Pennsylvania as the Philadelphia Flyers (24-30-11) visit the Pittsburgh Penguins (32-22-10)
With the inside track on the second Wild Card spot in the East, the Penguins open as favorites
See the Flyers vs Penguins odds ahead of puck drop on Saturday at 3:30 pm ET
While the rivalry is typically better when the stakes are higher, there aren’t many better matchups in the NHL than the Flyers and Penguins.
Philly is firmly out of the Eastern Conference playoff picture. And it was a bit of a disappointing Trade Deadline as they weren’t able to move as many pieces as they would have liked. So now they get to play spoiler.
For the Penguins, they just need to stay a step ahead of the teams behind them in the standings. Salvaging a point after blowing a 3-1 lead against the Islanders on Thursday is a start. The Pens also have a pair of games in hand over the Panthers and a somewhat comfortable four-point cushion over the Senators and Sabres.
Pittsburgh gets a chance to inch closer to a playoff spot on Saturday afternoon at PPG Paints Arena.
Flyers vs Penguins Odds
| Game Time (ET) | Team | Puck Line | Total | Moneyline |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Saturday, March 11 | Philadelphia Flyers | +1.5 (-105) | Ov 6.5 (-105) | +225 |
| 3:30 PM | Pittsburgh Penguins | -1.5 (-125) | Un 6.5 (-125) | -280 |
Despite the setback, the Penguins are riding high with wins in five of their last seven games. So, not surprisingly, Pittsburgh are home favorites on Saturday. The Pens have beaten the struggling Lightning (twice), Blues, Predators and Blue Jackets.
Pittsburgh are -290 to make the playoffs when it comes to the NHL Playoff Odds. They’ve positioned themselves well, they just need to keep it going. Only the true diehards or the boldest of the bold would think about taking the Flyers at +9000.
