The games, spanning from November 2022 to April 2023, have seen the home team secure wins in three instances, indicating a potential home-ice advantage in this matchup. The Flyers, however, have managed to win against the spread in two of the games, matching the Islanders’ record against the spread. In terms of over-under betting, the trend has leaned towards the under, with three out of the four games not surpassing the predetermined threshold. Key statistics from these games reveal a pattern of tight contests and strong defensive performances, as evidenced by the low over-under outcomes. The Flyers have struggled with their season win percentages, which were notably lower than the Islanders’ in each corresponding game, suggesting a disparity in form between the two teams during these periods.
The most recent game between the Philadelphia Flyers and the New York Islanders took place on April 8, 2023, where the Islanders secured a decisive 4-0 victory at home.

Philadelphia Flyers vs. New York Islanders Predictions
The Philadelphia Flyers are flying high on a five-game winning streak, showcasing a blend of offensive prowess and defensive resilience. With Travis Konecny leading the charge with 11 goals and Travis Sanheim contributing a team-high 16 points, the Flyers’ top players are hitting their stride at the right moment. The team’s recent form has propelled them to second place in the Metropolitan Division, and they’ll be looking to maintain their momentum against the Islanders. Philadelphia’s success has been underpinned by their solid play on both ends of the ice, with their defense and goaltending stepping up to complement their scoring.
On the other side, the New York Islanders are coming off a much-needed victory that snapped a seven-game winless streak. The Islanders have been relying on the offensive contributions of Brock Nelson and the playmaking abilities of Mathew Barzal, who leads the team with 11 assists. However, the Islanders’ middle-of-the-pack offensive and defensive rankings indicate that there’s room for improvement. As they return to their home ice at UBS Arena, the Islanders will be looking to leverage their home crowd and the defensive acumen of players like Noah Dobson, who tops the team with 15 points, to stifle the Flyers’ attack.
This game will feature key player matchups, including the faceoff between the Flyers’ top scorer Konecny and the Islanders’ defensive stalwart Dobson. Special teams could also play a pivotal role, with both teams seeking to capitalize on power-play opportunities. As the Flyers and Islanders prepare to face off, fans can expect a tightly contested game that could come down to which team is able to execute their game plan more effectively and make the most of their scoring chances.
Philadelphia Flyers vs. New York Islanders Pick
The New York Islanders, despite their rocky start to the season, are poised to take advantage of their home ice against the Philadelphia Flyers. With a recent win under their belt and the Flyers coming into UBS Arena, the Islanders have historically shown resilience in this matchup, winning three of the last four encounters. The Islanders’ defense, particularly with Ilya Sorokin in net, has the potential to stifle the Flyers’ offense, as evidenced by the previous shutout. Considering the Flyers’ lower win percentages in past seasons and the Islanders’ tendency to perform well at home against Philadelphia, the Islanders moneyline bet is a strategic choice. The Flyers are on a hot streak, but the Islanders have a history of halting their momentum, and with the Flyers’ recent games leaning towards the under, this suggests a defensive battle where the Islanders could edge out a win.
Furthermore, the Islanders’ key players like Brock Nelson and Noah Dobson are expected to step up in this crucial divisional game. The Flyers’ winning streak, while impressive, has seen them play close games, and the Islanders’ need to climb the standings could provide the extra motivation required to secure a victory. The Islanders’ recent trends, including their ability to win as favorites and their performance against the spread, also lend confidence to this pick. The Flyers may be flying high, but the Islanders have the tools to bring them back down to earth, making the Islanders moneyline bet the more compelling option for this matchup.
