Like last time, the Philadelphia Flyers will visit New Jersey to play against the Devils, marking the second round of back-to-back encounters this month.
Currently, Philadelphia is leading the season series 2-0 and would like to further improve their record. Given that they are struggling for a playoff spot, these wins are critical, however, tonight's game isn't going to be a walk in the park.
On paper, it is true that the Devils are the better team. However, they have consistently underperformed when paired against the flyers. After the injury of Jacob Markstrom, the team has already conceded 7 goals over the past 2 games.
Jake Allen was able to maintain control, but there is a great need for improvement. As far New jersey as a whole, the team needs to learn how to better position and score goals.
This is to avoid lengthy dry spells like the one they experienced during January. Now is the perfect time to take charge right from the get go. They should be able to take care of the business within nuclear time.
Rivalry Renewed
The Flyers and Devils share a rich history filled with intense battles, dramatic finishes, and a fair share of bad blood. Their rivalry, rooted in geographical proximity and divisional competition, always brings out the best—and sometimes the worst—in both teams. Fans can expect hard hits, fast-paced action, and a palpable energy that only this matchup can deliver.
