Calgary vs Philadelphia Prediction 9 November 2026
🔊 Calgary Flames and Philadelphia Flyers come into their game after frustrating losses. The Flames gave up a two-goal lead against Anaheim, and the Flyers could not hold on to a lead in New York. Calgary have lost three of their last four games, but the visitors are in an even worse position. Philadelphia have dropped to the bottom of the Eastern Conference, winning just four of their eighteen games. Still, Calgary have reason for optimism. The Flames beat the Flyers twice last season, including a four-goal win at home. Can they repeat that result against an opponent struggling defensively again?
Two defeats with little chance of success
📊 Last season, the Calgary Flames won both games against the Philadelphia Flyers. The first was played on November 2 in Pennsylvania, where the visitors edged out a 2-1 win. The game in late December was far less competitive. At Scotiabank Saddledome, the Flames routed the Flyers 5-1, ending the calendar year with a convincing win. Over the two games, the Canadian team scored seven goals and allowed the Flyers just two. Now the teams will meet again in Calgary, where Philadelphia’s last visit ended in a particularly unpleasant defeat.
Head-to-head statistics Calgary - Philadelphia
A good start guarantees nothing yet
Calgary have slipped back into the bottom half of the Western Conference. After a brief good run, Ryan Huska’s team have lost three of four games, and their offense is still struggling to score. Just 42 goals scored - only Chicago have fewer in the West. The Flames’ power play has been much more effective, though: at 30%, it ranks fourth in the NHL. Even that has not always been enough to win. Martin Honzek and Jonathan Huberdeau remain on the injured list, while Kevin Bahl’s availability is still in doubt.
Calgary’s last game, against Anaheim, began almost perfectly. William Strömgren opened the scoring, Joel Hanley then scored for the first time since April 2025, and Joel Farabee converted on the power play. The hosts led (3:1) after the first period, but the game changed completely from there. Anaheim changed goaltenders, and Ville Husso did not allow the Flames another goal. Over the remaining 40 minutes, the visitors outshot Calgary (23:10) and scored four times. The (3:5) loss ended the Flames’ five-game home winning streak. It was especially frustrating to let a lead built in one period slip away.

Bottom of the table and a weak attack
Things are going even worse for Philadelphia. Five losses in six games have dropped Rick Tocchet’s team to last place in the Eastern Conference. The Philadelphia Flyers have won just four of their 18 games, and only Vancouver have fewer wins in the entire league. Scoring is a problem, too: their 39 goals are the fewest in the East. The Flyers have scored on just 9.4% of their shots, the fourth-lowest rate in the league. First periods have been particularly difficult, with the team averaging 0.5 goals in the opening frame. Injuries also mean Nikolai Grebenkin and Rasmus Ristolainen remain unavailable.
Philadelphia came close to ending their losing streak in New York. After conceding in the first period, the visitors responded with goals from Simon Benoit and Noel Acciari to take a 2:1 lead into the second intermission. The score stayed that way until the 54th minute, when a penalty changed the game. Pavel Dorofeyev scored on the power play, and Ty Cartier soon put the Rangers ahead. The Flyers pulled their goalie for an extra skater but could not tie the game, losing 2:3. Joseph Woll made 24 saves, but another late collapse left the team without a point.

⭐️ Editor's Pick
Calgary are hard to call reliable favourites right now, especially after their loss to Anaheim. But Philadelphia's defensive problems have persisted for several games. The Flyers have allowed at least three goals in regulation in each of their last six games. Even when they take the lead, they don't always manage to hold on to it. Calgary have their shortcomings in attack, but their power play is operating at 30% efficiency. The head-to-head record also supports the pick: the Flames have scored at least three goals in three of their last four games against Philadelphia. This time, I'll put my trust in the home team's attack again. My pick - Calgary team total over 2.5 goals.
