The set-up: The 26-13-1 NY Rangers are off 4-1 loss to the Sabres last night in MSG and tonight travel to Philadelphia to face the 20-14-5 Flyers. The 4-1 defeat halted New York's three-game winning streak, as the Rangers had 19 giveaways, something that must be corrected here. Philadelphia returns home from a disappointing 0-3-1 road trip that concluded with a shootout loss in Anaheim on Sunday and included shutout defeats in New Jersey and San Jose. However, the Flyers have been playing well at home, with a 7-0-1 record at Wells Fargo Center since dropping a 3-2 decision to the Rangers back on Nov. 25.

NY Rangers: Goalie Henrik Lundqvist allowed four goals on 19 shots in the loss to the Sabres and could sit the second end of the back-to-backs in favor of Antti Raanta (10-4-0, 2.28 GAA & .921 save percentage). Expect the Rangers to turn the page quickly from one of their most lopsided losses, as otherwise, it's been an impressive season. "I wish I would had an answer," center Derek Stepan (tem-leading 30 points) said when asked about what was ailing the Rangers. "Whoever figures that one out is going to be a very rich man or woman. ... For me, our execution tonight is really what surprised me. We just weren't even close."

Philadelphia: The Flyers are coming off that 0-3-1 road trip to New Jersey, St. Louis, San Jose and Anaheim and have now gone 1-4-2 since their 10-game win streak ended last month. "This wasn't our best road trip," Flyers right winger Wayne Simmonds told Phillynews.com. "The games in St. Louis and San Jose, we thought we needed to compete harder and battle more. We did that (in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss in Anaheim). Steve Mason (14-12-5, 2.78 GAA & .904 save percentage) has started 21 of the last 23 games for the Flyers and is expected to get the call on Wednesday.

The pick: Philadelphia has scored just six goals in its 0-3-1 slide but has allowed just 18 goals in its 7-0-1 run at home. The Under is a 10* play in this one.
