This is a 10* on PHILLY

Everyone remembers what happened to the Flyers the last time they played the Rangers. They were humiliated 9-0 in one of the worst defeats in franchise history. Few probably remember that Philly went out and won their next game (4-3 over the Islanders) as since then, it’s been three more losses. So now the Flyers are sitting fifth in the East Division, but they are actually two points ahead of the Rangers. Take away that one 9-0 game last week and the respective goal differentials look a lot similar. Just two points back of Boston for the fourth playoff spot, there is no reason for the Flyers to hang their heads now. We think they are going to come out with quite the inspired effort Thursday. While the Rangers did score five goals in their last game, that win came against the terrible Sabres and they are 1-6 after the previous seven times they scored five or more times in a game.
