Surging Rangers dominate Flyers
The New York Rangers won again, 6-1 against the Philadelphia Flyers, to extend their [point streak to 1o games (7-0-3).
We know the recent efforts of the New York Rangers to land J.T. Miller have stalled, but we now know more about why. Here's the latest on the rumors.
“The noise about Miller and the Rangers, with whom the 15th overall selection of the 2011 draft spent the first five-plus seasons of his career, will spike," Brooks wrote. "Candidates to go the other way will be named. Alexis Lafreniere would be one, Branden Schneider would be the other.”
The Rangers’ climb back into the playoff picture is a reflection of how well they’ve been playing of late (8-1-3 in January). It also shows how deep of a hole they dug earlier in the year: They’ve had a sustained stretch of strong hockey and still haven’t fully erased the damage.
The last time the Rangers played the Flyers, their season was starting to fall apart. Now things couldn’t be going better for the Blueshirts.
Let's just New York Rangers coach Peter Laviolette was fine with how his team reacted to goalie Igor Shesterkin being hit by Ottawa Senators captain Brady Tkachuk.
NEW YORK -- Igor Shesterkin made 35 saves for the New York Rangers, who scored six straight goals and extended their season-long point streak to 10 games with a 6-1 win against the Philadelphia Flyers at Madison Square Garden on Thursday.
The score was lopsided. The game, though, was not, according to the Flyers, who lost in regulation for the first time in seven games.
