Philadelphia Flyers vs. New York Rangers: Picks, Predictions, Odds and Player Props

The Philadelphia Flyers head to Madison Square Garden to take on the New York Rangers on Thursday night in the NHL.

This is a classic matchup that is sure to bring fireworks.

The Flyers and Rangers are in desperate need of the two points as they are each on 50 points in the Metropolitan Division.

They are each outside the playoffs and are pushing to get in. To get you set for this battle, here are our Flyers vs. Rangers predictions.

Philadelphia Flyers vs. New York Rangers betting picks and predictions

New York Rangers Moneyline (-155)

Overall, it has been a disappointing season for the Rangers, who were initially expected to make a deep playoff run as they usually do.

However, they are still not out of the playoff race by any means, especially with their impressive 6-0-3 run.

They will be looking to make this their tenth straight game of earning at least a point and I think they will do so with a win. They are on home ice welcoming an opponent who is 5-4-1 in their last 10 games but has much less talent.

The standings may not suggest that, but when comparing the rosters, the Rangers win in star power and depth.

Confidence and momentum is a huge factor for the Rangers right now. They have put together a strong run lately, but they will feel pressure since they know they need to keep it up.

Philadelphia won’t be a pushover, but in front of their home crowd, expect the Rangers to win.

Over 6.0 Total Goals (+100)

On the offensive side, both teams average roughly 3.0 goals per game. Results like this are nothing to look twice at, but it shows consistent scoring touch.

Furthermore, each side has multiple dynamic players such as Artemi Panarin (Rangers) and Travis Konecny (Flyers) that can score at will.

Defensively, these teams have been poor. The Flyers currently rank seventh-worst in goals against average, giving up 3.06 per game, while the Rangers have not been much better, giving up 2.85 per game.

With these things being said, both teams will find the scoreboard multiple times no matter who wins, so consider backing the Over.

Travis Konecny Over 0.5 points (-160)

There have been only a handful of bright spots on this Flyers team and one of them has been the production of Konecny.

The 27-year old currently leads the team in goals (21), assists (33), and points (54), and it has him on track to lead his team in points and goals for the fourth-straight season.

He plays a ton of minutes, plays against top lines and is up there in the current NHL rankings, which proves his impact on a game-to-game basis. 

Against the Rangers, he will be leaned on heavily once again in his team's effort to win as underdogs.

I think the Flyers can get multiple goals here and more often than not, Flyers goals are generated by Konecny.
