The Philadelphia Flyers and New Jersey Devils will battle in an absolutely crucial contest for Eastern Conference playoff positioning on Tuesday night in New Jersey. Philadelphia occupies the #3 spot in the Metropolitan Division and is just 1 point inside the current playoff cut line. As for the Devils, it\u2019s just about over for them \u2014 7 points behind the Flyers in the standings. That\u2019s not to say New Jersey has waived the white flag, but urgency is greater for Philly \u2014 and that team is playing like it. The Flyers are 14-5-1 in their last 20 games and come into this one on a 2-game winning streak after defeating the Bruins 2-1 in overtime on Sunday. Dan Vladar is expected to make his third straight start for Philadelphia. He is 26-13-7 this season with a 2.43 goals-against average and .906 save percentage.<\/p>\n
This marks the third head-to-head meeting between these 2 teams in 2025-26. Philly has absolutely dominated the matchup so far, prevailing 6-3 at home on November 22 and 5-3 in New Jersey on November 29. There is no sign of the Devils turning the tide, as they have alternated wins and losses over their past 7 contests. They have not won back-to-back games since March 24-26 \u2014 a feat they are looking to accomplish after beating Montreal 3-0 this past weekend. New Jersey is likely sending Jakob Markstrom to the net on Tuesday. Markstrom has lost 2 of his last 3 starts and comes in with a 23-18-1 record in addition to a 3.04 goals-against average and .885 save percentage. It\u2019s also worth noting that Philadelphia is better on the road (21-13-4) than it is at home (18-13-8). The Flyers are playing inspired hockey regardless of the venue these days, so look for their momentum \u2014 and their recent head-to-head dominance of the Devils \u2014 to continue.<\/p>\n
