Philadelphia Flyers vs NY Rangers
I’m on the Flyers here. I know the Rangers will turn it around at some point as the losses won’t last forever, but the Rangers aren’t necessarily playing all that well right now and the Flyers are playing well enough to take a shot on in their current form. I think there’s value to be had with Philadelphia here. Give me the Flyers.
