Alexis Lafreniere has excelled in matchups against strong shot suppression sides all season long.<\/p>\n

Now taking on a larger role without Artemi Panarin in the fold, my Flyers vs. Rangers predictions expect that trend to continue.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a closer look at my NHL picks<\/a> for Thursday, February 26.<\/p>\n

Flyers vs Rangers prediction<\/p>\n

Flyers vs Rangers best bet: Alexis Lafreniere Over 1.5 shots on goal (-140)<\/p>\n

New York Rangers<\/a> forward Alexis Lafreniere<\/a> has recorded multiple shots in 67% of his games against Top-10 shot suppression teams, including nine of his last 11.<\/p>\n

Lafreniere has faced the Philadelphia Flyers<\/a>, who play slowly and generally don\u2019t allow many shots, twice this season. He combined for 10 shot attempts and recorded at least four SOG in both meetings.<\/p>\n

He is an efficient shooter who doesn\u2019t need many attempts to get the job done. On the season, Lafreniere has 2+ shots on target in 23 of 26 games when generating 4+ attempts, a benchmark he\u2019s cleared both times against Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

Flyers vs Rangers same-game parlay<\/p>\n

Lafreniere is skating on a line with Vincent Trocheck<\/a> on the second line as well as on the No. 1 power play.<\/p>\n

The two correlate very strongly and will get to shoot on Samuel Ersson<\/a>, who owns a putrid .856 save percentage through 24 appearances this season. Ersson has allowed at least three goals in six of his past seven.<\/p>\n
