The set-up: The Rangers won't be in the postseason, but they remain competitive down the stretch, most recently posting a 4-2 home win over St. Louis. The Flyers come in motivated here after a 5-2 loss at Carolina. Philadelphia has to be liking its chances today as New York has gone just 12-26 on the road, averaging 2.58 goals and allowing 3.87 in those contests. Overall the Flyers are 19-20 at home, averaging 2.97 goals and allowing 3.26 in those contests.

The pick: Neither team is going to be in the playoffs, but I'm expecting a faster paced, wide open affair between these still proud organizations. Take it for what you will as well, but New York has seen the total go "over" 11 of its last 18 in revenging a home loss vs. an opponent, while Philadelphia has seen the total go "over" in 14 of its last 23 vs. division opponents. This number is a little low, play the "over."

Flyers/Rangers OVER
