New York heads to Philadelphia on Monday night with the Flyers priced as the clear favorite. The Rangers are +140 on the moneyline, while the Flyers are -175, with no puck line or total currently available.
From a standings lens, this sets up as a team above the cut line pace (Philadelphia) trying to bank home points against a Rangers club that has struggled to convert performances into wins and is still chasing in the Metropolitan.
Philadelphia also brings the better recent form (5-3-2 last 10) into a matchup where New York’s offense has been low-volume by shots, which matters against a Flyers team that has done a strong job limiting attempts.

Recaps
New York Rangers
New York’s most recent game was a 6-3 loss on March 7, where the Rangers were outshot 35-20 and went 0-for-4 on the power play. The penalty kill also took damage, allowing goals on 3 opposition chances in that game.
In net (projection only), Igor Shesterkin is listed as the likely starter but unconfirmed. His season line entering this matchup: 19-12-6, 2.50 GAA, .911 SV%.
Injuries to monitor: J.T. Miller (upper body, injured reserve), Matt Rempe (thumb, injured reserve). Vincent Trocheck is listed day-to-day (not injury related).
Philadelphia Flyers
Philadelphia last played March 7 and won 4-3, generating just 15 shots but holding the opponent to 23. Special teams were a swing factor: the Flyers went 0-for-2 on the power play and killed 5 of 6 penalties.
Dan Vladar is the projected starter but unconfirmed. His season line entering this matchup: 20-10-6, 2.40 GAA, .907 SV%.
Injuries to monitor: Travis Konecny (upper body, day-to-day), Nick Seeler (lower body, day-to-day), Rodrigo Abols (fractured ankle, injured reserve), Tyson Foerster (arm, injured reserve), Ryan Ellis (back, out for the season).
Matchup Keys
- Shot volume clash: Rangers are at 25.39 shots per game, and the Flyers defense is allowing 25.63 shots per game, a tough environment for a low-shot offense.
- Special teams profile: Rangers power play (22.70%) is a clear edge over Philadelphia’s (16.15%), but the puck line and total being unavailable limits derivative angles.
- Road spot for New York: Rangers enter with a 0-6 straight-up skid in their last six road games, which matters given Philadelphia’s stronger overall record.
- Goaltending looks stable on both sides (if starters go): Shesterkin (2.50 GAA, .911 SV%) vs Vladar (2.40 GAA, .907 SV%) suggests the gap is more about team context than netminding.
- Rest and travel: Neither team is on a back-to-back (both last played March 7), and New York’s travel is short, so fatigue is not a primary driver.

Best Bet
Philadelphia Flyers moneyline (-175).
Philadelphia is in better form (5-3-2 last 10 vs 3-5-2), has the stronger overall resume, and matches up well versus a Rangers offense that is generating just 25.39 shots per game. New York’s current road run (0-6 SU last six away) is a major red flag, and the Rangers are also dealing with key availability questions up front. The price is not cheap, but the matchup points toward Philadelphia controlling more of the game state at home if the projected goalies hold.
