Once again, the Rangers dominated the Flyers.
Once again, Mika Zibanejad had a hat trick by the second period.
There were some differences, however, in the Rangers’ 8-3 victory over the Flyers on Thursday night at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.
The last time the teams met, on March 17 at the Garden, the Rangers won, 9-0. This time, it wasn’t a shutout even though the Rangers got their No. 1 goalie back.
Igor Shesterkin, who missed 10 games with a groin injury, stopped 40 shots in his return. The Rangers were outshot 44-22.
Another difference: The Rangers don’t have to wait eight days to play the Flyers again.
