Philadelphia Flyers vs New Jersey Devils Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 04/07/26

The Philadelphia Flyers and New Jersey Devils will battle in an absolutely crucial contest for Eastern Conference playoff positioning on Tuesday night in New Jersey. Philadelphia occupies the #3 spot in the Metropolitan Division and is just 1 point inside the current playoff cut line. As for the Devils, it’s just about over for them — 7 points behind the Flyers in the standings. That’s not to say New Jersey has waived the white flag, but urgency is greater for Philly — and that team is playing like it. The Flyers are 14-5-1 in their last 20 games and come into this one on a 2-game winning streak after defeating the Bruins 2-1 in overtime on Sunday. Dan Vladar is expected to make his third straight start for Philadelphia. He is 26-13-7 this season with a 2.43 goals-against average and .906 save percentage.

This marks the third head-to-head meeting between these 2 teams in 2025-26. Philly has absolutely dominated the matchup so far, prevailing 6-3 at home on November 22 and 5-3 in New Jersey on November 29. There is no sign of the Devils turning the tide, as they have alternated wins and losses over their past 7 contests. They have not won back-to-back games since March 24-26 — a feat they are looking to accomplish after beating Montreal 3-0 this past weekend. New Jersey is likely sending Jakob Markstrom to the net on Tuesday. Markstrom has lost 2 of his last 3 starts and comes in with a 23-18-1 record in addition to a 3.04 goals-against average and .885 save percentage. It’s also worth noting that Philadelphia is better on the road (21-13-4) than it is at home (18-13-8). The Flyers are playing inspired hockey regardless of the venue these days, so look for their momentum — and their recent head-to-head dominance of the Devils — to continue.
