Trends
New York is 0-5 in their last 5 road games and 0-4 in their last 4 games when their opponent allows 2 goals or less in the previous game while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 games against a team with a losing record. Philadelphia is 6-1 in their last 7 games against a team with a losing record and 5-1 in their last 6 games played on 3 or more days rest while the over is 8-1 in their last 9 home games.
Pick
I’m backing the under here. The Islanders had serious goalscoring issues prior to the all-star break and the Flyers don’t necessarily light the goals ablaze themselves. I think this game has first to 3 written all over it so give me the under here.
