Philadelphia Flyers Defeat New Jersey Devils in Home-and-Home Series, Strengthening Wild Card Position in Eastern Conference

The Philadelphia Flyers emerged victorious in the first part of this home-and-home series, solidifying their position in the competition for a wild card spot in the Eastern Conference. Despite the New Jersey Devils' strong offensive capabilities, their goaltending has been compromised due to the absence of Markstrom, which will likely have consequences in the upcoming games. Philadelphia has displayed a consistent performance recently, with a record of 6-3-1 in their last ten games and three consecutive wins against New Jersey. On the contrary, the Devils have struggled with a record of 2-3-2 in their last seven games and 4-7-3 in their last 14 games since late December. If Markstrom were available, New Jersey would be the favored team, but with Allen or Poulter in goal, the outcome becomes more uncertain. Therefore, it is advisable to consider betting on the Flyers to win by a margin and also consider placing a bet on the Money Line.
