The home team has won the last 6 games in this series while the Flyers are just 1-4 in their last 5 games in New York. The Rangers have also won their last 6 against the Atlantic Division. My pick is with the Rangers at home as this is a big rivalry game and they need this game more than the Flyers, who have been stellar most of the season.
