Flyers vs Devils Prediction 

New Jersey comes into this matchup on a two game winning streak, but they will be on the road for this game. The Devils are 14-9-2 on the road this season, while the Flyers are 11-11-1 at home. Philadelphia has dropped two games in a row and they have scored two goals or fewer in three straight. The Flyers are showing some improvement on the defensive end of the ice, but their offense has not been very good. New Jersey may have won their last two games, but they have not looked right over the last few weeks and I can’t back them on the road here. Take the Flyers to get the win.
