| Wednesday NHL: Philadelphia vs. New York |
For the latest NHL Odds and wagering options make sure to stop by the best hockey betting sportsbook, Bet Phoenix. This is the first of six games between the Atlantic Division rivals. Philadelphia swept the six-game series last season, capped by a 7-4 home victory that closed the regular season and clinched the Atlantic Division title for the Flyers. Three of the games were one-goal affairs, while three others were decided by at least three goals. Both teams are hoping to snap a losing skid to make for a happy holiday. The Flyers have lost two straight, while the Isles have just one win in their last seven and have been shut out 6-0 by Boston and 5-0 at Pittburgh in their last two games. Philadelphia could get one of its two hurting veteran leaders back for this one. Defenseman and team captain Chris Pronger remains day to day due to a virus and did not make the trip to Long Island with his teammates on Tuesday, but forward Jaromir Jagr, who has missed the last two games with a lower-body injury believed to be a groin strain, practiced with the team Tuesday and said he would decide Wednesday if he would be healthy enough to play. He credited acupuncture for helping him heal quicker. While most eyes were focused on Sidney Crosby's return to the NHL from a 10-month, concussion-induced hiatus, Islanders coach Jack Capuano was watching his own players, and despite the 5-0 loss Monday, he found at least one positive -- the NHL debut of David Ullstrom. A 2008 fourth-round pick, Ullstrom had two shots, four hits and won two of three faceoffs in 13:30 of ice time spread across 18 shifts. At the time of his recall, Ullstrom was tied for the American Hockey League lead with 12 goals. Islanders star center John Tavares hasn't scored a point in his last two games, but seeing the Flyers could fix that. He's scoring at a point-per-game clip in five games against Atlantic Division foes, and has nine points in 12 career games against Philadelphia. … Flyers rookie forward Matt Read extended his goal-scoring streak to five games by scoring Monday against Carolina. It's the longest goal-scoring streak by a Philadelphia rookie since Mikael Renberg had a goal in six straight during the 1993-94 season. The Islanders will work hard to try and snap their streak against the Flyers and finally break the curse that is held over the team.

The Philadelphia Flyers will be very happy to take the ice on Wednesday against the New York Islanders, who they have fared well against in the past.
