Flyers Try for First Win of Season – Visit Devils Tuesday Night<\/strong><\/p>\n The Philadelphia Flyers have not exactly gotten off to the fast start required in this lockout shortened season dropping their first two games while getting outscored 8-3 along the way. The road doesn’t get any easier Tuesday night when they travel to New Jersey to take on Martin Brodeur and the Devils – winners of their first and only game of the season so far. <\/p>\n Philadelphia Flyers (0-2-0-0) at New Jersey Devils (1-0-0-0)<\/strong> Matchup<\/a> | Preview<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Check out our in-house NHL Handicapper!!! Buy Razor Ray’s NHL Picks Today!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Strangely the Philadelphia Flyers find themselves in an almost \u201cmust-win\u201d situation just three games into the season \u2013 three losses to start a 48 game season would be a blow for sure.<\/p>\n The reason for Philadelphia\u2019s slow start can\u2019t be pegged on just one thing \u2013 they are struggling in almost every aspect of the game. The Flyers are giving up and average of 6 more shots per game than they are generating and when needed, the goaltending isn\u2019t stealing any games.<\/p>\n The power play is just 1 for 9 so far this season and the PK has given up five goals against.<\/p>\n Philadelphia will be forced to play without one of their spark plugs again on Tuesday night \u2013 Danny Briere will miss at least another two games with a wrist injury. The Flyers could certainly use his energy and his scoring touch to break the mini-slump.<\/p>\n Ilya Bryzgalov will need to step up his game as well \u2013 he has been between the pipes for both of Philadelphia\u2019s losses, has a 3.05 goals against average and a .909 save percentage \u2013 not nearly good enough if the Flyers hope to contend.<\/p>\n The New Jersey Devils have played only one game so far this season, a 2-1 win over the New York Islanders on Saturday. Defensively the Devils looked typically terrific allowing just 19 shots on goal \u2013 Martin Brodeur did the rest! [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n Ilya Kovalchuk will hopefully be acclimated to the North American time zone on Tuesday after spending months in Russia and threatening to stay there.<\/p>\n He gives the Devils an added offensive touch that will likely be needed against the desperate Flyers.<\/p>\n A few trends to consider:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2022 Over is 7-1-1 in PHI last 9 road games. The Philadelphia Flyers have traditionally had a very difficult time in New Jersey \u2013 8-29 in their last 37 at the Devils. Heading into Tuesday night\u2019s encounter, the Flyers have struggled and expect that to continue.<\/p>\n Until the defense shows up and until Ilya Bryzgalov finds his form, the Flyers will threaten the distinction of being one of the more disappointing teams in the NHL.<\/p>\n Martin Brodeur has a knack of raising the level of his game against Philadelphia \u2013 he will be the difference Tuesday.<\/p>\n Pick: New Jersey Devils -116<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Flyers vs Devils NHL Spread\/Handicapping Flyers Try for First Win of Season – Visit Devils Tuesday Night The Philadelphia Flyers have not exactly gotten off to the fast start required in this lockout shortened season dropping their first two games while getting outscored 8-3 along the way.
