No team in the National Hockey League is on a bigger losing streak than the Philadelphia Flyers. They've lost nine-straight heading into tonight's game against the New Jersey Devils, who are also on a losing streak of their own, dropping their last four.

One team will get things back on track when they meet tonight at the Prudential Center.

This will serve as a rematch from a game that took place on November 28th, when New Jersey got the better of them, downing them 5-2.

Flyers vs. Devils Prediction and Pick

The Flyers losing streak isn't a stretch of bad luck, they are truly a terrible hockey team. They can't generate anything offensively, and their defense is an open door to their opponents. They rank second last in high danger scoring chances for, and dead last in high danger scoring chances against. That's not a recipe for success.

If Philadelphia didn't have Carter Hart in net for them, its record would be even worse if he wasn't one of the top goalies in the league.

The Devils, on the other hand, have a few promising statistics to lean on. They rank 10th in CORSI% and fourth in high danger scoring chances. I'll back New Jersey tonight.

Pick: -150
