New York Rangers vs Philadelphia Flyers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/17/26

The New York Rangers and Philadelphia Flyers are both looking to end their respective 5-game losing streaks when they meet at Xfinity Mobile Arena on Saturday afternoon. The Flyers are looking to get back into the playoff picture, while the Rangers are just looking to salvage any sort of positivity at this time. These teams met a few weeks ago back on December 20, with the Rangers prevailing by a score of 5-4 in a shootout. Igor Shesterkin made 28 saves in that contest, but he is now sidelined with a lower body injury. The Rangers have struggled mightily without him, allowing a whopping 27 goals through 4 games without their top netminder.

Things have gotten so bad for the Rangers that general manager Chris Drury released a statement to the fans on Friday addressing how poor the season has gone up to this point. It’s the second statement released from the New York front office this season. That’s not exactly a team you want to be backing right now. The Flyers have been strong on home ice this season, and they are the team to back on the moneyline in this matchup. Look for the Flyers to avenge their December 20 shootout loss to the Rangers with a victory in this one.
