 In NHL betting action, the New York Islanders visit the Philadelphia Flyers. BetOnline.com has the Philadelphia Flyers -155 odds favorites against the New York Islanders +135 with a over/under set at 5.5 goals.Flyers fans must be cringing at the thought of another prolonged losing streak. Philadelphia has lost two straight games and aren’t far removed from a disastrous 10-game losing streak in February. Philly snapped the skid with three straight wins but are managing to find ways to lose again. The team is desperately clinging to the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, but it’s been tough for them to compete with so many injuries. The Islanders are in an even more desperate situation. They trail Philadelphia and two other teams for a playoff spot; a loss in this game would almost surely eliminate them from contention. A six-game winning streak in mid-February has been nullified by a 2-4-0 record since. New York did get a 4-3 shoot out win over the Rangers on Tuesday, but it needs to start piling up “W’s” if it hopes to have a shot at the Stanley Cup. It doesn’t look good for the Islanders, who has been dominated by Philadelphia this year. Philly leads the season series 4-1, including a win last Saturday in New York. Get your Free NHL Pick in Now!
