The Carolina Hurricanes (13-4-0) meet the Philadelphia Flyers (8-9-2) Wednesday at Wells Fargo Center. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (TNT/Max). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s NHL odds around the Hurricanes vs. Flyers odds and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.
Season series: Hurricanes lead 1-0
The Hurricanes have won 9 of the past 10 meetings since March 12, 2022, including a 6-4 victory as a huge favorite (-305) as the Over (6) easily cashed at a matchup at Lenovo Center in Raleigh on Nov. 5.
Carolina picked up a 4-1 victory Sunday against the St. Louis Blues as a giant favorite (-325) while the Under (6) cashed, and the Hurricanes are now 11-2-0 in the past 13 games since Oct. 22. The Under has cashed in 3 in a row, as goaltenders Pyotr Kochetkov and Spencer Martin have held down the fort with Frederik Andersen sidelined due to injury yet again.
Philadelphia lost 3-2 against the Colorado Avalanche Monday night as the Under (6.5) cashed. That halted a 3-game win streak, and a run of 4 Over results for the Flyers.

Hurricanes at Flyers projected goalies
Pyotr Kochetkov (9-2-0, 2.42 GAA, .904 SV%) vs. Ivan Fedotov (3-3-0, 3.64 GAA, .871 SV%)
Kochetkov is projected to get the starting nod in Philadelphia. He kicked aside 29 of 30 shots in a 4-1 win over the Blues last time out Sunday, and he has picked up 8 victories in the past 9 outings, while allowing a total of just 7 goals in the previous 4 outings.
Fedotov has flipped the script in November. After a dismal 0-3-0 record, 5.35 GAA and .821 SV% in 3 starts in October, he has won each of his 3 outings in November, racking up a 2.22 GAA and .918 SV%.

Hurricanes at Flyers picks and predictions
Prediction
Hurricanes 4, Flyers 2
Moneyline
The Hurricanes (-230) will cost you more than 2 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk and not enough reward. Again, Carolina topped the Flyers (+188) in the first meeting in Raleigh in early November.
While Carolina has won 11 of the past 13 games, it is just too much risk and not enough reward.
PASS.
Puck line/Against the spread
Back the HURRICANES -1.5 (+112) laying the goal and a half. In the past 7 wins since Oct. 31, Carolina has won by 2 or more goals, including that win over Philadelphia. The Hurricanes have won by 2 or more goals in 9 of the previous 10 outings, too.
The Flyers +1.5 (-134) have played 5 one-goal Games in the past 6 outings, so if you’re not comfortable playing the road team, you wouldn’t be blamed backing the home side with some insurance, either.
Over/Under
UNDER 6.5 (-118) is worth playing lightly, but go with a half-unit bet at most.
The Under cashed last time out for Philly against the Avs, but the Over is still 4-1 in the past 5 contests.
For Carolina, the Under has hit in the past 3 outings, but the Over did hit in the first meeting with Philadelphia, so be careful.
