Philadelphia Flyers at New York Rangers
When: Tuesday, January 16, 7 p.m. ET
Where: Madison Square Garden, New York
Betting Line / Total: New York -115 / 6 Goals
Philadelphia Flyers
Being a Flyers fan or backer has been a whirlwind of an experience over the last two months. Philadelphia went 0-10 from Nov. 11 to Dec. 2, 6-0 from Dec. 4 to Dec. 16, 2-5 from Dec. 18 to Jan. 2, and now 4-0 over its last four games.
All of the ups and downs so far this season have amounted to a 20-15-8 record, one point behind the Rangers with a game in hand. Sean Couturier is enjoying a breakout season with 25 goals through the team’s first 43 games.
The Flyers are just 2-10 in their last 12 road games against Metropolitan Division rivals, per the OddsShark NHL Database.
New York Rangers
Like Philadelphia, the Rangers have had plenty of swings this season and currently find themselves in a 3-7 slump over their last 10 games that includes losses in each of their last three games.
New York’s defense has struggled this season, allowing 34.2 shots per game, second only to Florida for the most allowed in the league. Henrik Lundqvist is currently matching the third-highest save percentage of his career at .923, but the higher shot volume has led to a 2.58 goals-against average, which stands as the second-highest season GAA of his career.
Tuesday’s total is set at six goals. The OVER is 5-1 in Philadelphia’s last six games.
Only five points separated second place from eighth place in the Metropolitan Division heading into Monday night’s action. This is shaping up to be a tight race for the division and the wild card playoff spots in the East, making these division rivalry games even more intense as the season marches on. New York has won six of its last seven games against the Flyers.
