GREENBURGH, N.Y. — The future is almost here for the Rangers.
One game remains in this lost season for the Blueshirts, as they close out 2017-18 Saturday afternoon in Philadelphia against the Flyers, who still need one point to secure the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, beating out Florida.
The Rangers will have to do their duty to the NHL and to the Panthers and try their best to win against a division opponent who will be coming hard for that point. “This is their whole season,’’ Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said Friday of the Flyers.
