The Philadelphia Flyers and New Jersey Devils have met twice this week alone with tonight’s matchup and a Saturday date at Wells Fargo Center remaining before they’ll move on to play other teams. After captain Claude Giroux’s two goals in 22 seconds with under two minutes remaining in regulation led to a 4-3 shootout win for Philadelphia on Sunday, the Devils pounded the Flyers 6-4 in a game that never felt as close as the final score would indicate. The loss dropped Philadelphia to 22-20-7 on the season, seven points back of the New York Rangers for a meaningless fifth-place finish in an East Division that has seen the Capitals, Penguins, Islanders, and Bruins separate from the rest of the pack.

The Devils’ victory on Tuesday dealt a blow in in their chance of catching the Buffalo Sabres for the worst record in the NHL, and with that the highest odds of getting the #1 overall pick in the draft. At 15-27-7, New Jersey is four points ahead of Buffalo, who have played one more game than the Devils.

The teams have split the first two games this week. Who will break the tie?

Devils to Win and Over 5.5 Goals (+255, DraftKings Sportsbook)

The New Jersey Devils won decisively in a 6-4 regulation game on Tuesday night. That effort followed a 4-3 shootout loss that would have ended 3-1 in their favor had it not been for a historic effort from Flyers captain Claude Giroux who found the back of the net twice in 22 seconds with just over a minute and a half remaining in the third period. All of this is to say that despite the fact that New Jersey fans would likely rather see their team pack it in and get better draft positioning, the Devils haven’t quit on their season. Their win on Tuesday night broke a 10-game losing streak. There’s uncertainty facing the Flyers in net and on the defensive end once again, especially given head coach Alain Vigneault’s lack of choices in net beyond 35-year-old backup Brian Elliott.

As for the over 5.5 goals portion of this same-game parlay, it’s worth noting that the Flyers have seen the total goals go over the threshold in each of their last six games against New Jersey following a road loss. The Devils have seen the “Over 5.5 Goals” market hit in seven consecutive games, while the Flyers have seen the same market hit in four of five games against the Devils this season.

Bets We Like Independent of Outcome

Over 1.5 Goals in the Third Period (-220, DraftKings Sportsbook)

We touted this exact bet ahead of Tuesday night’s game and we’re doing it again for a number of reasons. The Flyers and Devils have combined to score at least two third period goals in each of their five meetings this season. That would on its own be an impressive feat, but it’s even more so considering the “Over 1.5 Goals in the Third Period” market has hit in 12 consecutive meetings between Philadelphia and New Jersey.

Tuesday night’s game marked the fifth time in their last six games that the Flyers have seen the “Over 1.5 Goals in the Third Period” market hit, including their last four games. As for the Devils, they’ve seen at least two goals scored in the third period in  three straight games and six of their last seven.

Oskar Lindblom to Score a Goal (+300, FOX Bet)

To look at Oskar Lindblom’s point production this season without context might appear a bit underwhelming, especially given how he put up 18 points (11G, 7A) in just 30 games a season ago. Context is key. Lindblom just 16 months removed from a devastating diagnosis of a rare bone cancer Ewing Sarcoma. Not only has he beaten cancer, and received confirmation of clean scans in the past month, but he’s played in 43 games while putting up 13 points. Lindblom has a goalscorers touch and it appears as though he’s getting stronger as the season has gone one, assuming there’s been some recovery time for his body as he’s been working to get back to where he was physically back in December 2019.

Lindblom has found the back of the net in two of his last three games, with both of those goals coming in games on the road. The most impressive part of Lindblom’s goalscoring in those games is the fact that he found the back of the net on just one recorded shot in each contest. If you’re looking for a hot hand with a high multiplier, this one is worth taking a flier. on.

Flyers vs. Devils Prediction

Pick: While the Flyers are the more talented team on paper, their questionable play in their defensive zone have brought back myriad issues that plagued their game in March. New Jersey has dominated much of the two games against the Orange & Black this week. Take the Devils to Win and Over 5.5 Goals.
