The New York Islanders may indeed be in trouble at this point in the season as they are in danger of losing the top seed within the Metropolitan division to the Washington Capitals. Of course, a loss to the Capitals in their last outing certainly did not do them any favors at all.
The Philadelphia Flyers are currently in sixth place with the Metro division. And while they are winners of three of their last four games, their next five games will entail them facing teams where they have not had success against, beginning with the New York Islanders.
Philadelphia Flyers
Philadelphia had just 23 shots on goal versus the Islanders in their last outing compared to 22 for their opponent. However, the Islanders were very accurate on this night as they posted six goals in a blowout win in the end.
Jori Lehtera scored his first goal of the season in this contest for the Philadelphia Flyers. However, New York was on fire in this contest as Brock Nelson led the team with two huge goals on the night.

The Flyers enter this matchup on an offensive high as they are averaging over 4 goals per game during their four-game stretch. They posted six goals on the New Jersey Devils in their last outing as James van Riemsdyck (19) scored two goals early in which to get the scoring started for the Flyers.
Philadelphia was accurate as well in ending with just 24 shots for the game. Cam Talbot (11-15-3) picked up the victory in goal for the Flyers with 30 saves for a .909 save percentage.
New York Islanders
The Islanders will certainly be looking to atone for a loss to the Washington Capitals in this outing versus the Flyers. They have dropped four of their last six games entering this contest and badly in need of a victory.
After an unassisted goal in the first period by Tom Kunhackl, the Islanders held the Capitals scoreless for the first two periods on the contest. However, the visitors exploded for three goals in the final period thanks to a power play goal by Alex Ovechkin, which gave the Capitals the lead for good.

4* Free NHL Betting Pick: Over
Both teams are really putting goals in the net at this point in the season. With that being said, look for the over to be the strong play in the end as I can envision the Islanders getting back on track with a 5-4 win over the surging Flyers. Of course, this will be a back and forth game that will be tight throughout.
NHL Free Score Prediction: Flyers 4 – Islanders 5
The Flyers have dropped two of three of their last road outings. On the other hand, New York, despite losing bad to the Capitals, are winners of three of five games, overall, entering this contest. With that being the case, look for the Islanders to get back on track in what will be an essential game to win, moving forward.
