Bruins at Flyers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Flyers 4, Bruins 3
Money line (ML)
The FLYERS (+120) are worth a shot for the upset on home ice after letting a 2-goal lead slip away Wednesday. The Bruins dominated puck possession with 53.68% of all shot attempts, including blocked and missed shots, at 5-on-5, but the Flyers had 58.33% of the even-strength scoring chances.
Boston was also opportunistic in scoring on 3 of 4 power-play opportunities. Even at a 28th-ranked 70.73% success rate, the Flyers penalty kill should be better than that.

Against the spread (ATS)
The FLYERS +1.5 (-250) can also be backed for the insurance on the puck line with a small wager. Their last three games have gone to extra time, and they won two of those over the Islanders. The Bruins are 4-0-1 in their last five games, and three of those went to overtime.
These teams met for a two-game set in Boston Jan. 21 and 23; Boston won the first game by a 5-4 score in a shootout.
Over/Under (O/U)
All three meetings between these two teams have seen at least 7 total goals scored. Rask should get right sooner than later, but there’s little reason to hope for the correction to come in this spot against the high-scoring Flyers.
Back the OVER 5.5 (-115).

The Vancouver Canucks (6-8-0) and Toronto Maple Leafs (8-2-1) play the second game of a two-game set at Scotiabank Arena with a 7 p.m. ET puck drop Saturday. Below, we analyze the Canucks-Maple Leafs NHL odds and lines, with picks and predictions.
Canucks at Maple Leafs: Odds, spread and lines
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 10:25 a.m. ET.
Money line: Canucks +165 (bet $100 to win $165) Maple Leafs -200 (bet $200 to win $100)Against the spread/ATS: Canucks +1.5 (-165) Maple Leafs -1.5 (+125)Over/Under: 7 (O: +110 U: -130)Canucks at Maple Leafs: Projected starting goalies
Braden Holtby (3-3-0, .896 SV%, 3.63 GAA) vs. Frederik Andersen (6-2-1, .888 SV%, 3.01 GAA)
Holtby should get the starting nod after Thatcher Demko coughed up 7 goals in the front end of the double-dip in Toronto, as the Canucks lost 7-3 Thursday. Holtby yielded 6 goals in a road loss to the Montreal Canadiens, but he made 34 saves.
Andersen allowed three goals on just 19 shots as he cruised to the 7-3 win Thursday. He has won four of his past five outings, with the Leafs providing 22 total goals of support in the five-start span.

Canucks at Maple Leafs: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Maple Leafs 5, Canucks 3
Money line (ML)
The Maple Leafs (-200) won by a football score in the front end of this set. They’re a good bet to run it back and take the second installment, too.
However, this is just past my personal limit of -180 on a money line. Look to the spread instead, unless you toss this into a parlay. PASS.

Against the spread (ATS)
The MAPLE LEAFS -1.5 (+125) are worth a look for the 2-goal margin of victory. They hit against the puck line in Thursday’s game, and they’re just too expensive on the money line.
Go lightly, as Toronto has won by 2 or more goals in just three of its eight victories. Vancouver has been beaten by 2 or more goals in each of its eight losses. So if you play against them, play the puck line for a better payout until they right the ship.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 7 (+110) is the play. Both Vancouver goaltenders have been coughing up huge goal totals, and the Leafs are providing Andersen with a lot of offense.
Toronto enters on a 4-0 Over run, and Vancouver is on a 3-0 streak while cashing the Over in eight of the past 11.
