Flyers vs Rangers Prediction
We’ve backed the Rangers a lot this season on the road, where they’ve played their best hockey, but right now they’re falling apart regardless of where the games are played. The Rangers are getting peppered defensively and it’s looking more and more like a lost season. The Flyers have quietly won 4 of their last 5 games and one of those wins was an overtime road victory against these Rangers. It’s probably too little too late for the Flyers as well, but games like this are a gift to keep those slim playoff hopes alive. The price is reasonable. Give me the Flyers on their home ice.
