It was the Rangers vs. the Flyers at Madison Square Garden. Only this was Feb. 18, 1968. The Rangers won their first game in their sparkling new home.
The two teams were back at MSG IV on Feb. 18, 2018. But Sunday didn’t turn out to be a happy 50th anniversary for the Rangers. These aren’t happy days for them.
They gave up seven goals one day after giving up six. Travis Konecny and Claude Giroux each contributed a goal and two assists in Philadelphia’s 7-4 win.
The Rangers have lost four in a row, 11 of their last 14 and 15 of their last 21.
