These teams already have played twice in January and Philadelphia won the first game 5-3. The Flyers now seek payback for New York's 3-1 win in the rematch. The Flyers also will look to snap the Islanders' five-game win streak. Philadelphia will start Ivan Fedotov, who has played in hard luck recently. He has allowed no more than three goals in any of his past five games with nothing to show for it. Fedotov replaced Samuel Ersson and stopped nine of 10 shots in last night's loss to New Jersey after Ersson had allowed four goals in the second period. The Islanders have gone UNDER five of seven road games and four of five overall. The Flyers have won four home games in a row and they have gone UNDER four of six overall. Six of the past eight meetings have stayed UNDER. New York is 1-9 after scoring at least five goals its previous game. Take the Flyers and the UNDER.

The offense is 12th in the NHL in shooting percentage, while the defense has allowed 17 goals in seven games. The Flyers have won two of their last three on the road, winning at New Jersey (5-3) and at the Islanders (5-3) as a +120 dog. They're an underdog again to a last-place New York squad on a 7-8 run. The Islanders' offense is 29th in goals scored (2.65 per game), 29th in shooting percentage, and last on the power play, while the defense is last in penalty killing. Play Philadelphia.
