The New Jersey Devils have emerged victorious in four out of their last five home games, showcasing a strong offensive performance with 13 goals scored during this period. Their dominance extends to their special teams, with a third-place ranking in power play conversions in the league. On the other hand, the Philadelphia Flyers have faltered in four of their recent five road games, being 22nd in penalty kills and displaying defensive vulnerabilities by conceding 14 goals in their last four away matches. Philadelphia's offensive struggles on the road, failing to score more than two goals in three of their last four games, coupled with their weak special teams ranking of 28th in power play conversions, point towards a challenging matchup for them.
