Any game between the Rangers and Flyers is bound to be exciting in itself but there was a little more at stake tonight. With a win, the Rangers would clinch their playoff berth and be the first team in the league to hit the 100 point mark. There were a couple of other circumstances that would lead to them clinching as well but at the end of the day, you want to control your destiny and pick up the win in those situations.
Couple of other pregame notes. Alex Wennberg would be a late healthy scratch due to personal reasons.
