New York Islanders vs Philadelphia Flyers Prediction & Picks - NHL

Prediction published on 1/28/25, 8:04 PM  by Edgar Jibran | Modified on 1/30/25 at 3:05 AM in NHL Picks

The NHL schedule for next Thursday, January 30th will offer an Intra-Divisional game when Philadelphia Flyers and New York Islanders clash at 06:30 pm CST at the Wells Fargo Center. For this game, the bookmakers’ odds don’t really have a favorite to win, but it must be taken into consideration that the Flyers couldn’t be mentally and physically prepared for this confrontation.

That general expectation is since Philadelphia Flyers faced a very difficult away game against New York Islanders less than 24 hours before the kickoff of this game, in which they were totally dominated during the second period. Despite that disastrous game, they still are just 3 points behind the playoffs’ spots, so they must try to immediately forget about that bitter loss to find some defensive consistency in this game.

In the meantime, New York Islanders positively remark as the only team in the Eastern Conference that was able to win their last 5 games in a row, a wonderful streak that has allowed them to put just 4 points behind the playoffs’ spots. Also, it’s very likely that they’ll stop being the worst offensive of their Conference if they’re able to handle the pressure and keep the same level for the upcoming games.
