The Lean

If you’re looking for a moneyline pick, my choice is the Senators to take down the Flyers on the road. With the moneyline currently at -120, I’m placing my bet on the Senators straight-up.

If you’re looking for a puck line bet, I’d suggest going with the Flyers to cover. Even in the event of a Senators victory, this game is expected to be closely fought, and the Flyers should cover the puck line.

If you’re looking at the over/under line set at 5.5 goals, our prediction is that this game will exceed that mark, and we strongly advise placing a bet on the over.

Senators Aim to Keep Momentum Going Against Reeling Flyers

The Ottawa Senators are heating up at just the right time. Riding a four-game winning streak and an impressive 4-0-1 run in their last five games, they’ll look to keep the momentum going when they visit the slumping Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday night.

On the other side, Philadelphia is trending in the wrong direction, having lost four straight games while struggling to generate offense. With the playoffs slipping further out of reach, the Flyers desperately need to turn things around before it’s too late.

Senators Surging After Early-Season Struggles

Ottawa’s resurgence continued Monday night with a 2-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings. The Senators had lost five straight before their recent hot streak, but they’re now finding their groove just in time for the playoff push.

Goaltender Linus Ullmark was the star of the night, making a season-high 48 saves, including a whopping 27 stops in the second period alone.

However, despite the win, Ullmark wasn’t entirely pleased with the team’s performance.

“It was just a chaotic game,” Ullmark said. “I’m pretty sure we have to look at ourselves in the mirror and say, ‘That wasn’t good enough.’ We have to be honest with each other. That’s not a sustainable type of game to play.”

With Ottawa playing on back-to-back nights, Ullmark might get a well-deserved rest, meaning Anton Forsberg could get the start against Philadelphia.

Dylan Cozens Making Immediate Impact

One of the biggest storylines in Ottawa has been Dylan Cozens’ arrival. The former Buffalo Sabres forward scored his first goal as a Senator on Monday, delivering the game-winner on a power play.

“I just couldn’t be happier to be here and to be a part of this team,” Cozens said.

As the trade deadline addition continues to settle in, Ottawa’s depth is becoming even stronger—a promising sign for a team still within reach of a wild-card playoff spot.

Flyers’ Playoff Hopes Fading Fast

While the Senators are building momentum, the Flyers’ season is unraveling. Philadelphia has lost four straight games after a brief 4-0-1 stretch, and offense has been a major concern.

Over their last four games, the Flyers have scored just six total goals—including only three goals in their last three games.

Forward Ryan Poehling didn’t mince words after Sunday’s 3-1 loss to the New Jersey Devils.

“It (stinks), there’s no hiding about that,” Poehling said. “I think there’s no time to feel sorry for yourself. It’s definitely a gut check.”

Philadelphia was nearly shut out against New Jersey before Jamie Drysdale finally found the back of the net late in the game.

With upcoming home games against the Tampa Bay Lightning and Carolina Hurricanes, followed by a brutal five-game road trip, the Flyers need to snap this losing streak now before their playoff hopes completely fade away.

Key Flyers in Goal Droughts

Several of Philadelphia’s top offensive players have gone cold at the worst possible time:

• Travis Konecny leads the Flyers with 22 goals, but he hasn’t scored in over a month.
• Owen Tippett has managed just one point in five games this month.
• Sean Couturier has just two goals in his last 18 games.

“We got a couple chances,” Couturier said after Sunday’s loss. “It was a tight game out there. They got their bounces. We didn’t.”

If Philadelphia is going to stop the skid, its top forwards need to start producing.

Head-to-Head: Senators vs. Flyers

This is the second of three meetings this season between Ottawa and Philadelphia.

• Last Meeting (Nov. 14, 2023): Flyers edged the Senators 5-4 in overtime, with Matvei Michkov netting the game-winner.
• Final Meeting: The teams will face off again in Ottawa on April 13.

With both teams treating every game like a playoff battle, expect a high-intensity, physical contest as they fight for two crucial points.

Dylan Cozens on Ottawa’s Mindset:

“Every game the rest of the year is a huge game. We’ve got to bring our best every game,” Cozens said.

“Every game matters a lot. We’re playing every game like it’s a playoff game right now. It’s a lot of fun.”

Final Thoughts: Who Has More to Prove?

Both teams enter Tuesday’s game with plenty on the line:

• Ottawa is riding a four-game win streak and wants to stay hot in the wild-card chase.
• Philadelphia is on a four-game losing streak and must find a way to score before their season slips away.

With the Flyers desperate for a win and the Senators looking to keep rolling, this should be a high-energy, must-watch battle in Philadelphia.
