LiontipsRangers vs Philadelphia. Predictions and Betting Tips for NHL
Command Analysis
Rangers are in the fifth position in the standings with a total of 52 points. The team still has a chance of making the playoffs, but they needs to score points in almost every match, which is going to be very difficult. The Cops used their chance to score eight points in four straight games against New Jersey, but after that great run, they suffered a crushing 1-6 away defeat to the Islanders.
We must admit, that Barry Trotz's men rarely have problems with their performance. The team has a strong line of attack and excellent performers, so matches with their participation are often spectacular.
Philadelphia are likely to remain in the sixth position in the Eastern Division until the end of the season. The Flyers clearly didn't expect such a bad result, but their performance this year leaves much to be desired. The team cannot win more than one match in a row.
Just after a tough victory over Pittsburgh (2:1 B), Alain Vigneault's team game away points to Washington in a home game (3:6) and then were beaten by the Islanders (0:1 OT). However, it is important to say, that Philadelphia got the opportunity to rest for three days and, perhaps, this will help them in the upcoming fixture.

Tip and bets
In our opinion, Rangers are more motivated to make it to the playoffs than Philadelphia and have a much better chance of going through. In two previous head-to-head matches out of three, the Cops defeated the Flyers, so on the home court, they will have the opportunity to once again show their strength and geat a win.
Our prediction is Rangers to win.
As a rule, the games between these teams are high-scoring, and Rangers have finished almost all their previous games with more than five goals. After all, this is a match between two scoring teams with problems at the back, so let's bet on total over.
The second bet will be total over 5.5 goals.
