Philadelphia Flyers
Pick: Devils, Moneyline (-150): B

Jack Hughes continues to dazzle for New Jersey, fuelling a two-game winning streak that contrasts with Philadelphia’s recent slide, as the Flyers have dropped two of their last three. While the Devils report Dougie Hamilton as out. Historically, New Jersey has found success in this Metropolitan rivalry, having prevailed in three of their last four meetings against the Flyers. Coupled with the Devils’ sharper offense and improved defensive depth, they appear well-positioned to keep the momentum going, justifying their -150 Moneyline status. This recommendation receives a B rating for its promising balance of probability and monetary return if New Jersey locks down the win.

Over/Under Pick: Over 5.5, (-110) - B+

The Devils enter this matchup riding a three-game winning streak, intent on capitalizing against a Flyers squad that has lost two straight and might still be missing a key offensive contributor. Historically, these rivals have exchanged high-scoring affairs, amplifying the possibility of multiple goals despite Philadelphia’s recent offensive struggles. With New Jersey’s reliable scorers mostly healthy and the Flyers hoping a return to home ice offsets their injuries, the combined firepower leans favorably toward a wager on the over for a potentially solid payout. When the scoreboard lights up, so might your wallet.

Puckline Pick: Devils, -1.5 (-165) - B+
Philadelphia, running on a two-game losing streak, hopes to reignite its scoring punch, but the absence of a key veteran forward raises questions about offensive depth. Meanwhile, New Jersey rides a modest two-game win spree, and their lineup appears mostly intact, highlighted by a dynamic top line that has frustrated opposing defenses. Historically, the Devils have snatched significant victories on the road against division rivals, and that trend may give them an edge here. With the posted spread at -1.5 and -165 odds, the projection leans toward the Devils covering, as the return of a healthy roster and their latest momentum indicate heightened potential. This selection deserves a B+ rating, reflecting a reasonably high chance of success alongside an appealing payout for confident backers.
