Rangers (+115) at Flyers (-140) – Total 5.5 (-110)

7 p.m. ET

This is the fourth and final meeting between the two teams, with two of the first three contests going past regulation. Both teams have also gone to overtime in three of their last five games. Four of the last five meetings between the Flyers and Rangers have had seven or more goals. That also ties in with the Rangers games of late, which have had 9, 8 and 9 combined goals. So yes, I will be on the Over and the Regulation Draw. 

Let’s talk about player props. The Flyers’ Trevor Zegras has three goals in four games against Igor Shesterkin, and defenseman Travis Sanheim has five points in the three games this season versus the Blueshirts. On the Rangers side, Conor Sheary has four goals in five games versus Flyers goalie, Dan Vladar. Mika Zibanejad has four goals in three games against the Flyers this season. Defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov has goals in three straight and plays on the second power play unit. Will Cuylle and Vincent Trocheck make up two-thirds of the team’s second line, and both get power play time.
