The Philadelphia Flyers (13-7-3) will visit the New Jersey Devils (16-7-1) on Saturday in a quick rematch of last week’s meeting, where the Flyers earned a 6–3 win in Philadelphia. This time, the scene shifts to New Jersey, where the Devils are still undefeated in regulation. Both teams are skating on the second leg of a back-to-back, adding another layer to this game.

The Devils are elite at home
New Jersey enters this one riding a three-game winning streak after blanking Buffalo 5–0 on Friday. Back on home ice—where they’re a dominant 9-0-1—the Devils continue to be one of the league’s more dangerous offensive teams on special teams, ranking top-10 in power-play efficiency at 24.1%. They average 29.5 shots per game, but they are 19th at just 3.0 goals per contest. New Jersey’s scoring has been balanced, led by Timo Meier, Jack Hughes, Nico Hischier, and Jesper Bratt.
Defensively, they allow 3.0 goals per game, sit ninth on the penalty kill, and rank 18th in shots allowed. Jake Allen handled all 42 shots in Friday’s shutout, so Jacob Markstrom is expected to get the nod here. Markstrom is 7-3-1 but has struggled with a 3.56 GAA and .874 save percentage.
Flyers off a shootout win
Philadelphia improved to 5-4-1 on the road after a 4–3 shootout win over the Islanders on Friday, a game in which they nearly collapsed after blowing a 3–0 lead. Trevor Zegras continues to pace the Flyers with 21 points (7 goals, 14 assists), but the team ranks just 26th in scoring at 2.7 goals per game and 30th in shots (24.5 per game).
Philadelphia shines is on the defensive end, ninth in goals allowed (2.8 per game) and fifth in shots allowed (25.5). With Samuel Ersson starting Friday, Dan Vladar (9-4-1, 2.39 GAA, .913 SV%) is the likely starter on Saturday, giving Philly a strong goaltending edge if New Jersey goes with Markstrom, as expected.
Philadelphia Flyers vs New Jersey Devils Predictions
Moneyline Prediction for Flyers vs. Devils:
-
Flyers +135 (4 units)
New Jersey’s home record is elite, but this is a sharp spot for Philadelphia. The Flyers saved their No. 1 goalie for this game while the Devils used Jake Allen heavily in a 42-save shutout. If Markstrom gets the start—as expected—the downgrade in net is significant. In a back-to-back scenario, with Philly the more rested on the back end and holding a goalie edge, the value is on the Flyers.
Total Prediction for Flyers vs. Devils:
-
Over 5.5 (4 units)
These teams just combined for nine goals a week ago, and I expect to see plenty of offense again. New Jersey has seen five of Markstrom’s last eight starts reach at least six goals, as he is not as strong as Allen, and the offense needs to be ready to support him. With both of these teams coming off strong offensive outings on Friday, this number is simply too low.
