LiontipsPhiladelphia vs Rangers. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (December 18, 2022).
Command Analysis
Philadelphia broke their four-game losing streak and got a narrow victory over New Jersey (2:1) in New York. Goaltender Hart played a big role in that success; he saved 48 out of 49 shots he faced. Before that win, the Flyers lost two games in overtime. They couldn't defeat the Golden Knights (1:2 OT) or the Coyotes (4:5 OT).
The Rangers finally found their form and won five games in a row, most of them in regulation time. New York had some problems against Colorado and New Jersey, but they managed to get the upper hand in overtime and a shootout, respectively. The Cops also beat both the leaders of the Western and the Eastern Conferences - they crushed Vegas (5:1) and defeated Toronto (3:1). The Rangers lost only one of their last six away games.

Tip and bets
Philadelphia managed to break the losing streak, but we are not convinced they can get a victory over the Rangers - the Flyers are too inconsistent and they demonstrate poor quality hockey this season. New York are on top form and should win tonight.
Our prediction - Rangers to win
Neither side can boast of a very productive attacking line, and most head-to-head games are low-scoring. We recommend taking the under.
Second bet - total uder 6 goals
