Flyers vs Rangers Prediction 11/5/2026 Today’s NHL Picks

Flyers vs Rangers Prediction

The Flyers are probably better than what they’ve shown up to this point, but at some point they have to prove it. The Flyers keep getting waxed defensively, and they’ve had no road success. The Flyers have just one road win this season. That’s not ideal when you consider the Rangers are possibly the best home team in the league with seven home victories. The Flyers have also allowed three or more goals in each of their last five games. It’s hard to take the Flyers seriously in this spot. Give me the Rangers to continue their dominance on their home ice.
