After suffering a shellacking on their home ice at the hands of the New York Islanders, the Rangers will look to rebound against yet another divisional opponent playing out the string. The Philadelphia Flyers are in town tonight, and they’ll play for the second consecutive night after falling to the Toronto Maple Leafs at home yesterday.
The storylines surrounding the Flyers are intriguing right now. Former Ranger Keith Yandle sat out last night’s game as a healthy scratch, ending his iron man streak at 989 consecutive games played. Kevin Hayes, another former Ranger and a close friend of Yandle, spoke out and stated he disagreed with the decision given Philadelphia current status of just going through the motions until the seasons.
