Last Updated: January 28, 2026 10:41 AM EST • 2 minute read X Social Google News Link
Columbus and Philly collide tonight at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio (7:30 p.m. ET, TNT), and I'm backing the home betting favorite to come out on top in my Flyers vs. Blue Jackets prediction.
The Blue Jackets, one of the hottest teams over the last two weeks, are the -134 betting favorite. I like their chances, thanks to a big outing from Zach Werenski, of defeating a struggling Flyers team.

💰 Flyers vs. Blue Jackets best bet: Columbus to pick up win (-134) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Check out all of our NHL analysis and expert predictions this season.
Slowly but surely, the Blue Jackets are climbing the Eastern Conference ladder. They're 6-1 in the last seven games and beat the sizzling-hot Tampa Bay Lightning last time out in a 13-goal thriller.
With four wins from the previous five games at Nationwide Arena, I'm confident in them beating a Flyers team that lost eight of the last 10.
Score prediction: Blue Jackets 5, Flyers 2
🔥 Best Flyers vs. Blue Jackets prop bet: Zach Werenski Over 1.5 points (+196) ⭐⭐⭐
Go big, or go home, right? While that's not my day-to-day philosophy, I'm confident the Norris Trophy odds contender will secure his third successive multi-point game against the Flyers.
Werenski notched two points against the Lightning on Jan. 24, and he should enter feeling confident after that game, with the feel-good vibes augmented against a Philly team that has allowed at least four goals in two of the previous three.
I'm also backing Werenski in my NHL player props, while our Liam Fox targets the star blue-liner to score in his NHL anytime goal scorer predictions today.
