Philadelphia Flyers vs. New York Rangers
Play: New York Rangers
This is an important game for New York. They are fighting for a playoff spot, and they face the team that knocked them out of the playoffs on the final day of the regular season last year. The Flyers have also beaten New York three straight times this season. This is their chance to make a statement and I believe the Rangers bring their "A" game this afternoon. Philly's offense has fallen on hard times of late as they have managed just 2.4 goals per game in their last five. New York plays tough defense so I expect them to hold the Flyers down here. Take New York.
