Flyers vs. Penguins Prediction, Picks & Best Bets Today: Best NHL Bets Thursday, Jan. 15
Pittsburgh welcomes Philadelphia to PPG Paints Arena for tonight's battle between Metropolitan Division foes, and my Flyers vs. Penguins prediction expects Sidney Crosby to get back on track.
Despite losing three straight, the Penguins are the -154 moneyline betting favorite. The Flyers have been particularly porous in the current four-game losing streak, which I've taken into consideration as part of my NHL best bets.

💰 Flyers vs. Penguins best bet: Over 6 goal (-118) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Check out all of our NHL analysis and expert predictions this season.
Seven of the previous eight Flyers games had at least six goals, with Rick Tocchet's team allowing at least five in the last three. The Penguins played three consecutive low-scoring games, so it's time for them to break it open against what has been a ghastly Philly defense of late.
The price is too steep for Over 5.5, so I've turned to BetMGM's Over 6. It's the top play at the best sports betting sites.
Score prediction: Penguins 4, Flyers 3
🔥 Best Flyers vs. Penguins prop bet: Sidney Crosby anytime goal (+155) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Crosby netted three times in the last two encounters against the Flyers, and he hasn't notched a point in three games, his longest barren patch of the season.
That's bad news for Philly, which is playing as well defensively as a weakly fortified castle without soldiers. Crosby, who has been a productive shooter lately, is still among the league leaders in goals, and he'll again show why tonight.
We have a combined six more goal scorer picks between my NHL player props today and Liam Fox's NHL anytime goal scorer predictions today.
