New York Rangers @ Philadelphia Flyers 7:00pm est
The New York Rangers come into play sitting at 14-13-4, which puts them at sixth in the East Division. The Rangers are coming off a 5-3 win Monday night against the Buffalo Sabres. New York averages 9.3 penalty minutes per game, that is 4th most in the league. In their last 10 games, the Rangers are 5-4-1, while scoring 3.5 goals a game and giving up 2.6.
The 15-12-4 Flyers are looking to bounce back after their Tuesday loss to the Devils 4-3. Philadelphia is currently 9th in the NHL in assists per game at 5.6. Voracek has played terrific for the Flyers in their last 10 games. He has had 2 goals and 8 assists over this duration. The Flyers want to turn the table after being just 3-6-1 in their last 10 games. They average 2.6 goals and gave up 4.4 goals in their last 10 games.
In 4 of the 5 times these two teams met this year, the game has gone over. Both teams lack a wall in the net, especially the Flyers. There is no defense and goaltending is not really present this year for both of these teams. They pride themselves on lighting up the scoreboard. And with these two teams battling each other to see who can get the most penalty minutes, it is just going to give each offense a better opportunity to score.
Prediction: Over 6 Goals
