The current betting odds have the Jets listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Jets have looked great in their games this season with their 42-16-4 record overall which has them right at the top of their division in the West with one of the best records in the entire NHL. They have also been a good road team this year with their 19-11-0 road record. Meanwhile, the Flyers haven't looked good in their games this season with their 27-27-8 record overall which has them right near the bottom of their division in the East. They still have the potential to make the playoffs since they are only a few points away from a Wild Card spot, but they have a lot of work to do to get there and they haven't even been that great on their home ice this year with their 15-14-1 home record. They were on a bit of a hot streak coming out of the All-Star break, but now they have lost that momentum as they are coming off a 6-3 loss to the Flames at home in their last one, and they are only 4-4-2 in their last 10 games too. The Jets are coming off a loss to the Islanders in their last one, but they will be looking to bounce back in this one and they have still been hot lately as they are 7-2-1 in their last 10 games. The Jets lost a tight game to the Islanders so they will bring their best effort to bounce back here, and they can take advantage of the Flyers now that they have lost their momentum. The best way to place a bet here is on the Jets to win this game.

“Our pace and our pressure was back to what it was when it’s at its best. We’re in the funk right now when it comes to scoring goals. And teams go through these. But at the end of the day, I like that effort. Just stick with it. Like the power play, it’ll get answered.” - Scott Arniel after his team’s loss against the Islanders in their game on Tuesday.
