Looking at the odds for tonight's Flyers vs Hurricanes game, as well as upcoming games for Philly following tonight's game

Heading into tonight's game, the Carolina Hurricanes are unsurprisingly sitting as pretty comfortable betting favorites on most major sportsbooks. On DraftKings for example, the Hurricanes are sitting as -230 favorites, while the Philadelphia Flyers are +190 underdogs.

On FanDuel, it's more of the same with the Hurricanes sitting as -235 favorites, while the Flyers are +190 underdogs. To simplify these numbers, it would take a $235 bet on Carolina as the favorites to win $100 whereas a $100 bet on the Flyers would win $190.

Of course, these odds could wind up changing between now and puck drop.

Following tonight's game, Philly will host the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday, before then wrapping up its six-game home stretch with a game against Vegas on Monday.

From there, the team will hit the road for a game against the Predators on Nov. 27, before returning home for the first leg of a back-to-back on Nov. 29 against the Rangers. Finally, the team will wrap up the month of November with a road game against the Blues on Nov. 30.
