Rangers host division-leading Flyers
If familiarity breeds contempt, there should be animosity aplenty when the Flyers visit division rival New York at Madison Square Garden Monday.
New York brings a 29-15-7 overall mark (11-3-4 in the division) into this game versus a Philadelphia team carrying a 30-13-8 record. The Rangers hope their fortunes will turn around tonight as they have fallen victim to the Flyers four games straight.
Oddsmakers like the Rangers in this one, opening the line at 145 in favor of New York. The OVER/UNDER has been set at 6.
After being shoutout in a loss against the Lightning, Philadelphia fans expect their offence to get on track at Madison Square Garden. If not, this could be another one for Philadelphia's loss column. The Flyers are playing without star centre Peter Forsberg and star defenceman Eric Desjardins.
The Rangers come off a 7-1 win against the Penguins, a game where they were a 370 favorite. The game went over the closing total of 6.5.
Philadelphia has lost two in a row, being outscored 11-3 over the two games.
