Flyers vs. Rangers Betting Pick (March 27, 2021)
On Saturday afternoon, the Philadelphia Flyers will play host to the New York Rangers for the second time in three days.
Let’s get into our Flyers-Rangers betting pick with player prop predictions, odds and analysis for this March 27, 2021 matchup.
Flyers vs. Rangers Betting Pick (March 27, 2021)
The Philadelphia Flyers enter play in this one at 15-13-4, following an embarrassing 8-3 loss at the hands of the same New York Rangers squad they’ll take the ice with this afternoon. That loss continues a woeful month of March for Philadelphia in which they’ve gone 4-10-1. That stretch has been brutal in the standings as they’ve dropped from the top end of the East Division down to sixth place.
Philadelphia’s issues in their defensive zone have been so problematic that defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere said it’s making their goaltenders, “look like ****.” The Rangers team lining up on the other side has outscored the Flyers 18-3 in their last two matchups. They had better get things figured out and fast.

The New York Rangers are in the midst of a solid push toward the East Division’s top four, having gone 4-1-0 in their last five games, including the 8-3 smackdown they laid on the Flyers on Thursday night. Mika Zibanejad was once again the standout star, recording his a 6-point night in his second straight game against the Flyers. His second consecutive hat trick against the Flyers took him to up. to six goals against Philadelphia versus just four goals against all other teams. Perhaps the most concerning thing for the Flyers is the fact that Artemi Panarin’s lone contribution in Thursday night’s contest was one assist.
Can Philadelphia get their season back on track, or will their downward spiral continue?

Bets We Like With a Rangers Win
Money Puck gives the Rangers a 60.2% chance of winning this game. Meanwhile, New York’s implied win probability based on the moneyline is 55%.
Rangers Win and Over 6 Goals (+210, DraftKings Sportsbook)
The Flyers are an absolute train wreck at the moment, with GM Chuck Fletcher saying some of the young, single players are struggling in this COVID-affected world. Meanwhile, Shayne Gostisbehere says the team has lost its identity. Head coach Alain Vigneault looks like he’s out of answers. Fans are calling for massive change.
Meanwhile, the Rangers are in the midst of a 4-1-0 stretch, including wins over the Flyers where they scored 15 unanswered goals. Mika Zibanejad has come alive, finding the back of the net six times in his last two games against the Flyers, finding the scoring touch that put him among the game’s elite. Given Philadelphia’s struggles and New York’s strong play against the Orange & Black, the Rangers appear poised to take home another win on the road.
As for the over, the Rangers have scored at least three goals in six of their last seven games. In five matchups against the Flyers this season, the over 6 goals market has hit in four games, with each of the last four going over 6.5 total goals:
- 2/24/21 @ PHI: 4-3
- 3/15/21 v. PHI: 5-4 (OT)
- 3/17/21 v. PHI: 9-0
- 3/25/21 @ PHI: 8-3
Additionally, the Flyers have seen nine of their last ten games’ total go over the threshold.
The Rangers have shown no signs of slowing down since they pounded the Flyers 9-0 and Philadelphia showed no real jump on Thursday night, falling behind 6-0 in the second period. The Rangers are as good of a bet to win as it gets, while the over is a nice way to increase your potential payout.

Rangers Win and Both Teams to Score 2+ Goals in Regular Time (+250, BetMGM)
The Flyers’ struggles in the month of March have not prevented them from scoring goals, even if they come in a losing effort. In fact, in the last ten Saturday day games at Wells Fargo Center, the Flyers and their opponents have both scored at least two goals each.
The Rangers have scored at least two goals in seven of their last ten games and in each of their last three games. Philadelphia has found the back of the net at least twice per game in two consecutive games and seven of their last ten games.
If you’re planning on a Rangers moneyline bet and want a same-game parlay with decent odds, this could be one worth wagering on.

Rangers Win and Mika Zibanejad to Score a Goal (+210, FOX Bet)
Mika Zibanejad has played like a man possessed against Philadelphia, recording a hat trick in consecutive games against the Flyers, bringing his goalscoring split to six against Philadelphia and four against all other opponents. Brian Elliott will get the start in net this afternoon, but there’s no indication that should make much of a difference in stopping Zibanejad. Bettors taking the Rangers on the moneyline would be smart to take a flier on this bet.

Bets We Like Independent of Outcome
Mika Zibanejad to Record Over 2.5 Shots on Goal (-160, BetMGM)
Mika Zibanejad has recon net. orded a multiple points in four of his last seven games, including three of his last five. He’s coming off a six-point performance including three goals and three assists. We fully expect him to get onto the scoresheet once again in this one, with BetMGM offering +160 odds on him to record an assist and +105 odds to find the back of the net.
Those are certainly worthwhile bets, but there’s a near-guarantee on the board at -160 odds, and that’s on Zibanejad to record over 2.5 shots on goal. It’s a market that has hit in five consecutive games, including twice against the Flyers.
It might not be as flashy of a bet as some others, but there’s value in this near-surefire bet on its own or as part of a parlay.
Over 1.5 Goals Scored in Period 3 (-235, DraftKings Sportsbook)
The Flyers and their opponents have combined for at least two goals scored in the final frame in four of their last five games. The Rangers have seen the over 1.5 goals scored in period 3 market hit in six of their last seven games, including each of their last four. Plus, this market has hit in each of Philadelphia’s last eight Saturday day games at the Wells Fargo Center. When it comes to prop bets with positive recent trends independent of outcome, it doesn’t get much better.
Flyers vs. Rangers Prediction
Pick: Taking the Flyers to win as of late has been akin to throwing money into a fire. New York has been on a tear as of late and have been even more dominant than the 18-3 goal disparity they’ve posted in their last two contests against Philadelphia would indicate. Take the Rangers to Win and Both Teams to Score 2+ Goals.
