NHL Predictions: Anaheim Ducks vs Philadelphia Flyers, October 24th

Ken Culbertson previews the October 24 matchup between the Anaheim Ducks and Philadelphia Flyers at Xfinity Mobile Arena. The Ducks enter the game on a five-game losing skid to conclude a four-game road trip, while the Flyers carry a three-game winning streak. Culbertson projects a 4-3 victory for Philadelphia based on a blended probability model that gives the home side roughly a 54 percent edge.

The contest features significant offseason intrigue as Anaheim center Leo Carlsson plays Philadelphia for the first time since the Ducks matched the Flyers' $90 million offer sheet. Philadelphia also previously traded Cutter Gauthier to Anaheim in January 2024. Anaheim remains without injured defenseman Pavel Mintyukov, while Philadelphia awaits potential returns from Rasmus Ristolainen and Cam York.
