Rangers vs Flyers Prediction

The Rangers ride a nine-game heater and have excelled over the past month. The Flyers have also played well of late, but they’ve struggled to match New York’s firepower. I expect the Rangers to push their win streak to ten behind another strong offensive effort led by Panarin and Kreider.

In net, Shesterkin is 5-1 with a .940 save percentage over his last six starts. He should outplay the younger Ersson. New York has also dominated this head-to-head rivalry, winning eight of the last ten meetings.

New York’s superior offense and power play should overwhelm Philadelphia’s 31st-ranked PK unit. Shesterkin gives the Rangers the goaltending edge, too. Bet on New York to capture its tenth straight win before the line moves.

Pick: Rangers ML (-135 at DraftKings)
