Online NHL sportsbook oddsmakers currently have the NY Rangers as a home 155-moneyline favorites versus the Philadelphia Flyers, with the game's total is sitting at 5½ when these two teams square off at Madison Square Garden. At -155 the Rangers are a huge home favorite but I like the Flyers at +135 which is a very good NHL bet to make for two very even teams.

Despite the Flyers being 2-7 in the last 9 meetings head to head the Road team is 17-7 in the last 24 meetings. Right now their best player over the last month in Scott Gomez is out of the line up and a playoff spot is uncertain for the New York Rangers, and the absence of their leading scorer could only make it less likely. Yes the Rangers have the Flyers number all season long but they look tired and beat up while Philadelphia looks must fresher. Both teams are fighting for a playoff spot and this should be a close Under game as well but I like the way the Flyers have played. They looked great against the NY Islander as they used their size and strength to outmuscle the Islanders. They should be able to do the same tonight against the Rangers who are not a tough team. The Rangers are considered a soft team.

Bottom Line: The Flyers are a hot team right now and are 3 and 0 against the moneyline in straight up games. The Flyers are play very well now. In addition to taking the road Underdog in this NHL betting pick take the Under as the Rangers Under record is 30-12 in Rangers last 42 games as a favorite of -151 to -200 and the Flyers Under record is 4-0 in Flyers last 4 games playing on 1 days rest.

As a NHL bettor take the road dog at +135 which is a great value bet to make and also take the Under for great double bet to make

A few trends to consider:

The total has gone OVER in 4 of Philadelphia's last 6 games on the road
