Flyers vs. Red Wings Prediction: Detroit Is the Likely Winner, but -142 Is a Pass
Analysis updated October 15, 2026 at 7:21 AM CDT
Detroit has more certainty in goal with Daniil Tarasov confirmed, while Philadelphia’s Joseph Woll remains unconfirmed. That favors the Red Wings, but it doesn’t justify their -142 price.
Detroit Has More Certainty in Goal
Daily Faceoff, an NHL lineup and goalie-tracking site, lists Detroit’s Daniil Tarasov as confirmed and Philadelphia’s Joseph Woll as unconfirmed for Thursday’s game. Tarasov enters at 0-0-1 with a 0.66 goals-against average, a .974 save percentage and one shutout, though those numbers come from a small sample.
Detroit is the likely winner at home, but the SPF moneyline makes the Red Wings a -142 favorite and offers Philadelphia at +120. With no supporting team records, recent results, injury information or season statistics available, Tarasov’s confirmed start isn’t enough to make Detroit worth that price.
Betting Outlook
Pass on the moneyline. The same lack of team data makes the 5.5 total difficult to price, while Philadelphia’s unconfirmed starter adds more uncertainty. The over costs -120 and the under is +100, but neither side is supported well enough for a wager.
The listed 50-50 betting split is a default figure rather than sourced, game-specific public betting data, so it shouldn’t affect the pick.
