New York Rangers will take on Philadelphia Flyers in the NHL on Saturday.
New York have exhibited decent temperament to win 16 games after a torrid start. Placed in the middle of the Eastern Conference Metropolitan with 37 points, they will look to continue their winning streak to close the gap with higher ranked teams in the standings.
Philadelphia have had a poor season and are placed second last in the Eastern Conference Metropolitan with 27 points. After starting their season on a high note, they have lost momentum and are desperately looking for some consistency to make something of the remainder of the season.

Rangers vs Flyers Key Stats
New York have done well to push their average to more than three goals per game this season. Contributions from Mika Zibanejad and Chris Kreider have propelled their offense with over 14 goals each. Both players will have a big role to play in the upcoming game too.Their defense has not conceded more than three goals per game this season, which has kept them on solid ground.
Travis Konecny and Kevin Hayes have been the two bright spots for the team from Philly. They have both contributed more than any other player this season with 12 and 9 goals each. They need more support from the squad to enforce wins.
Their defensive line has been poor this season, having failed to provide enough support to the goaltenders. They have conceded over 84 goals, making the situation more problematic for them and we can expect a lot of changes in the future as they look to strengthen their defense.
Rangers vs Flyers Betting Prediction
The matchup is one-sided due to the overall season both teams have had. New York having won five of their last six away games, are comfortable coming into this one.
Philadelphia are under more pressure and are unlikely to get a favorable result in this tie.
