03/14/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Flyers hope that they made a statement with their last- second victory on Saturday against one of the best teams in the NHL. They've already made their impression on the Rangers this season.
Philadelphia visits Madison Square Garden this afternoon looking to win for the fourth time in five games, while hosting New York aims to end a lengthy scoring drought against its Atlantic Division rival.
The Flyers squared off with the Blackhawks, the Western Conference's second seed, Saturday afternoon and seemed in danger of losing a close contest. However, Scott Hartnell halted a 13-game goal drought to tie things with 2:04 left in the third before defenseman Chris Pronger tipped a Claude Giroux pass by Chicago's Cristobal Huet with just 2.1 seconds left in regulation for a 3-2 victory.
"It's huge. We didn't want to get this to end in overtime or have it end 4- on-4 or in a shootout," said Pronger. "We need to play with that fire and competitiveness. We had that attitude that we've lost and need to learn how to keep."
All five goals were scored in the third period. Simon Gagne netted the Flyers' first goal and his seventh in the last 10 games while Hartnell found the back of the net for the first time since Jan. 30.
Michael Leighton halted 39 shots in his 13th straight start, as the Flyers improved to 8-2-1 in their last 11 games while remaining tied with the Canadiens for the sixth spot in the East with three games in hand. Philly is also just three points behind fifth-seeded Ottawa.
The Flyers could decide to give Brian Boucher his first start since Dec. 21 in the opener of a four-game road trip. Boucher has made three relief appearances since that start and is 4-3-0 with a 2.51 goals-against average in his career versus the Rangers.
Leighton, meanwhile, notched a 22-save shutout over the Rangers on Dec. 30 and Ray Emery, currently on injured reserve because of hip surgery, then posted a 24-save blanking of New York in Philadelphia on Jan. 21. In fact, New York hasn't scored versus the Flyers since Artem Anisimov's second-period tally in a 2-1 victory at Philadelphia back on Dec. 19, giving the Rangers a 155 minute and 14 second scoring drought in the series.
The Rangers will try to end that drought in the fourth meeting of the season between the teams. Leighton's shutout came in the only matchup so far in New York, as Gagne added a hat trick in the 6-0 victory.
These two clubs end the regular season against each other in home-and-home set on April 9 and 11.
But first, the Rangers will try to get themselves back into the playoff picture. They had lost four straight prior to Friday's 5-2 victory over Atlanta and are three points behind Boston for the eighth spot in the East.
Vinny Prospal had two first-period goals to go along with an assist, while Marian Gaborik also lit the lamp during New York's big opening period. Gaborik finished with two assists as well and Ryan Callahan added a goal and a helper.
"We have another game coming up against Philly so we're going to have to be better," said New York head coach John Tortorella afterwards. "At times we played in spurts so we have some things to work on."
Henrik Lundqvist stopped 29 shots in the win and he is 1-2-0 with a 2.61 GAA in three matchups versus the Flyers this year.
Sean Avery was a healthy scratch for the first time this year on Friday and it is unknown if he will return to the ice today. He was replaced in the lineup last time out by Enver Lisin.
New York begins a three-game homestand today and has dropped six of its last eight at home, going 2-4-2 in that span.

NFL betting action is back! At MySportsbook, all of the pro football odds are posted for the NFC North. Check out how we see the four teams in this cloudy division stacking up this year in the chase for the playoffs! Green Bay Packers (+125) - With QB Aaron Rodgers leading the offense and DC Dom Capers working his magic on defense, the Packers are a real force to be reckoned with.
Virtually nothing changed on this offense for Green Bay from last year to this year, save for the addition of rookie OT Brian Bulaga to the bunch. Expect more huge numbers from the Pack, and a relatively favorable schedule should get them over the hump and into the playoffs once again this season. My NFL Betting Predictions: 11-5, 1st place in NFC North Minnesota Vikings (+130) - There are still too many unknowns about the Vikes this year. There is a huge difference between QB Brett Favre and either Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels under center. Plus, is Favre comes back, is he really going to be able to keep his pick total under double digits again? Depth at running back looked like it might have been an issue with RB Chester Taylor fleeing in free agency, but drafting RB Toby Gerhart should pick up the difference. This defense is still suitable, but with a first place schedule, making the playoffs is going to be very tough regardless of whether #4 comes back or not.

Chicago Bears (+350) - The Bears are probably a bit of an overhyped team once again this year.No, we don't think it is plausible for QB Jay Cutler to have as bad of a season as he did last year, and we do think the additions of RB Chester Taylor and DE Julius Peppers are going to help immensely, but there's still something in the water in the Windy City that we aren't so sure about. Maybe Chicago finds its way to .500... but then again, maybe it doesn't. If Favre comes back, Cutler might be the worst quarterback in this division this year.
Detroit Lions (+1500) - The Lions are probably once again going to be the whipping boys for the rest of the teams in the NFC North, but they aren't just going to roll over and die once again. There is some real talent amassing on this team offensively, as the combination of QB Matt Stafford, RB Jahvid Best, WR Calvin Johnson, and TE Brandon Pettigrew should put a bunch of points on the board if the offensive line can even remotely hold up. The questions really lie on defense, where it feels like DT Ndamukong Suh is going to be trying to stop opposing teams all by himself. This year should show some marked improvement in the Motor City.
The Patriots will make NFL betting fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
