Blackhawks Favored in Monday NHL Odds
The Blackhawks are favored to beat the Flyers at home in the Monday NHL odds. Chicago has lost two straight games and are 2-7-1 in their past 10 contests. Derek King’s team has been one of the NHL’s worst home teams, posting a 12-21-6 record at United Center.
Chicago has one of the lowest-scoring offenses in the league, averaging 2.60 goals per game. The Blackhawks haven’t been much better defensively, allowing 3.57 goals per contest. It’s no surprise Chicago sits at the bottom of the Central Division.

Chicago’s top line featuring Alex DeBrincat and Patrick Kane is the main reason to consider a wager on the Hawks versus Philadelphia. DeBrincat has reached 40 goals for the second time in his career, while Kane paces the team in scoring with 95 points.
The Blackhawks are expected to turn to Kevin Lankinen in goal against the Flyers. The 26-year-old netminder has been struggling, allowing three or more goals in seven straight starts. On the season, Lankinen owns a .887 save percentage and 3.62 GAA.

Do Flyers Offer Road Underdog Value?
The Flyers are listed as underdogs versus Chicago despite owning a six-game winning streak in the series. Philadelphia has won two straight games, including a 3-0 shutout over Pittsburgh on Sunday. Noah Cates scored a pair of goals in the victory.
Philadelphia’s back-to-back situation is certainly factored into Monday’s NHL betting line. The Flyers have also been decimated by injuries, as nine players are currently out of the lineup. Sean Couturier, Carter Hart and Rasmus Ristolainen have all been shut down for the season.

Goalie Martin Jones played Sunday, so the Flyers could turn to 25-year-old Felix Sandstrom against the Blackhawks. The Swedish netminder has only started three career NHL games, posting a .915 save percentage and 3.29 GAA.
