The Devils and Flyers meet tomorrow, but the available standings do not include conference ranks, records, games left, or distance from the playoff line. That leaves the playoff stakes unclear. Neither team can be labeled a must-win based on the information available.
New Jersey is 2-3-0 in its last five games and has four points in that span. Dawson Mercer leads the Devils with two goals, while Dougie Hamilton has four assists. Philadelphia is 1-2-2 with four points. Trevor Zegras has one goal, and Porter Martone has two assists for the Flyers.
Philadelphia has the better recent record in this matchup. The Flyers have won three of the last five meetings, all in regulation. New Jersey has won two, also in regulation. The Flyers have six points from those five games, compared with four for the Devils.
The Flyers have the edge because of that head-to-head record. They have also taken points in three of their five recent games, while New Jersey has taken points in only two. The recent meetings favor Philadelphia, but both teams enter with four points from their last five games.
