The Philadelphia Flyers (17-10-3) will battle the New Jersey Devils (16-12-1) in a fierce rematch at the Prudential Center in New Jersey coming up at 7:00 PM ET. The Devils are the favorites to win again with a moneyline currently at -175.

 

 

The Flyers have found success in four out of their last five games. Their previous encounter was a 1-0 victory over the Detroit Red Wings, with Cam York scoring the only goal of the game.

 

Travis Konecny has cracked the top 10 in goals scored in the league at ninth with 16 and also leads the Flyers here along with 25 points. Travis Sanheim also has added 17 assists to get the puck moving for them.

The Flyers have a narrow margin for victory with 2.90 goals and 32.8 shots per game. They have accumulated 10 goals in power plays, but have allowed 13 from opponents. This has resulted in a power play percentage at just 10.5.

The Devils have gone 3-2 in their last five matchups, with their recent two-game win streak being snapped. This recent defeat was a 5-1 blowout against the Anaheim Ducks, which was a bit embarrassing since the Ducks are a decent amount below .500 on the year.

 

Jack Hughes has accumulated 14 goals and 37 points for the Devils, ranking 20^th for his goal output. They also have Jesper Bratt, who has earned 24 assists so far.

 

They are averaging 3.48 goals and 31.9 shots a game, which is appealing to see. They have been great during power play performances, with 29 goals and 23 allowed with a percentage at 30.5. This is more than double what the Flyers have posted and it could make a difference in this game.

 

The Devils are allowing 3.55 goals and 29.3 shots each game, which does not bode well for winning consistently. They feature a penalty kill percentage at 75.8, which hangs a little lower compared to the Flyers.

 

 

MyBookie offers the odds for this NHL showdown opportunity, with the New Jersey Devils as favorites to win their second over the Flyers. Compared to their last meeting, this should be a great matchup.

 

 

The Devils were able to win 4-3 in overtime over the Flyers last month. The Flyers arguably have better momentum coming into this matchup. However, the Devils are streaky with their offense and could have a hot start to the game.
