NY Islanders vs PHI Flyers Prediction: the Flyers are far from their best

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on January 17. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

NY Islanders

The Islanders still can't find their hockey. Patrick Roy has too many headaches as the season progresses, and it's all due to personnel problems. Of course, it's hard to be successful in this situation, and things have been pretty dismal so far. Only Buffalo is worse than the Islanders in the East, and they are 15th in the overall conference standings with 41 points. Needless to say, there are still chances for the Wild Card, but they need to add more. The Islanders recently had a streak of three straight wins, but the day before they lost 0:2 to Ottawa.

PHI Flyers

In general, Philadelphia has exactly the same picture. Except that John Tortorella is not haunted by personnel problems, the Flyers have different ones. The same goalie line has freaked out many times over the course of the season. Not surprisingly, the Flyers are only 12th in the Eastern Conference standings with 44 points. As in the case with the Islanders, there is a chance for the playoffs, but what can be done there with a game like this? After four straight defeats, Philadelphia won twice, and the day before lost again - in a shootout to Columbus with a score of 2:3.

H2H Meetings

This season, the Islanders and Philadelphia have played each other only in the preseason, first the Flyers were stronger (2:0) and then the New Yorkers (4:3).

Expert Betting Tips

Both teams have not inspired confidence this season, and we'll even assume that we won't see either in the playoffs. But it's still too early to conclude, and we favor the Islanders in their head-to-head battle. The thing is, the Flyers have been terrible in New York in recent years, as it happens. In 13 past games, they have just one win at UBS Arena. That's disastrously low. Now that the Flyers are far from their best, we don't believe in their success either. We'll take the home team's final win (including overtime and shootout).
