Flyers vs Islanders Prediction

I’m not running to the window to back the Islanders, especially on the road. Early starts also usually favor the home team. With that said, the Islanders are still alive in the playoff race, while the Flyers aren’t. In a pick em spot, I’d have to give the edge to the team that still has something to play for, even if the odds aren’t great. The Islanders have won seven of the last 10 games against the Flyers, which includes outscoring them 6-1 in the last two meetings. Give me the Islanders in this pick em spot on Saturday morning.
