Flyers vs Rangers Prediction
I’m on the Rangers in this one. The Flyers are the epitome and the definition of a team playing themselves out of the postseason and are not a team I’m really going out of my way to back right now and a blowout loss to Montreal could very well be the nail in the coffin for me. The Rangers are the best team in that division and are still in the mix for the President’s Trophy and I think that they get the win by a couple of goals in a blowout here.
