Philadelphia Flyers vs New York Islanders Prediction
The Islanders are one of those teams that enjoy doing the opposite of what I predict, but I’m still backing them on their home ice. The Islanders are in a better position to secure a playoff spot and these are games they need to take advantage of to make it happen. There are no excuses. Must win territory for the Islanders. The Flyers have been rough defensively in their last two efforts, and we saw the Islanders win the last meeting back in January on the road, 4-0. The price isn’t crazy. Give me the Islanders on their home ice.
