The Rangers come into the game after a recent 4-3 loss to Carolina but remain a strong team with Artemi Panarin leading their offense with 26 points (12 goals, 14 assists). Supporting Panarin is Mika Zibanejad, who has been crucial in generating scoring opportunities. Defensively, New York has been solid, allowing just 2.8 goals per game, with Igor Shesterkin providing elite goaltending, posting a .911 save percentage.

Philadelphia is coming off a 3-2 overtime win against Nashville, with Travis Konecny spearheading their attack with 27 points (11 goals, 16 assists). Philadelphia has struggled to get momentum going in their season, and stringing wins together has been a rare occurrence. The Flyers will look to leverage their home ice and an improved penalty kill to counter the Rangers' dynamic offense.

The Rangers’ depth, scoring ability, and Shesterkin’s consistency in net give them an edge, but the Flyers’ defence, and the addition of Konecny’s scoring touch could make this a tight contest. Expect a competitive game, with the Rangers prevailing, thanks to their ability to capitalize on special teams and late-game opportunities 4-3.
