After meeting eight times as members of the MassMutual East Division last season, the New York Rangers and Philadelphia Flyers are set for their first meeting of the 2021-2022 campaign tonight. Last season’s series between the two teams was an oddity. The teams split the season series, going 4-3-1 against each other. However, the Rangers outscored the Flyers 33-19 in those eight games, with wins of 9-0 and 8-3 bloating the goal differential enough to overshadow the Flyers’ victories, each of which were by one goal apiece.
The Flyers underwent some major offseason changes, specifically with their group of blueliners.
