Philadelphia at New York

Philadelphia is 8-4-1 against NY over the past three seasons and I think they take it up to 9-4-1 tonight. Their defense has been poor all season long but tonight hey face a worse defense. And, Philly's offense is better (3.2 goals per game vs 2.8). Philly is looking to secure 2nd place and the #3 seed in the Eastern Conference. They need help from the Devils and Rangers to get it but one thing is for sure - without a win, they won't get it. Home underdogs at 40%-49% on the season, off a road loss are just 8-36 (18%) over the last 5 seasons in the second half of the season when facing a winning team. Philadelphia here.
