New York at Philadelphia

The Rangers defense gives them a shot in any game. They are allowing just 2.5 per game on the season, 2.2 per game over their last five and 1.9 per game vs. division foe, whom they know well. Offense is their problem but they face a Philadelphia team here that allows 3.2 per game at home. The Flyers are just 20-39 the past two seasons vs. losing teams including 6-20 vs. teams at 40%-49% SU. They are also 4-11 this season vs. poor offensive teams (those scoring under 2.6 goals per game). Philadelphia embarrassed New York 6-2 earlier this month so look for New York to come out steaming. The Rangers are 7-1 the past two seasons on the road revenging a home loss by 2+ goals. Philadelphia is only 14-34 over that same span in division games. New York for the upset win here.
