It’s the final Flyers vs. Rangers game of the season, which feels like an absolute blessing given how these games have gone. Tonight’s game, fittingly, was indeed one of those games.
First Period
After a relatively boring start to the game, the Rangers would get the game’s first man advantage as Kevin Hayes hooked Brett Howden. Just a little under a minute into the power play Chris Kreider, who came into tonight with three goals against the Flyers this season, scored on a deflection to make it 1-0 Rangers. Plenty of blueshirts have killed the Flyers this year, but Kreider has definitely been one of the bigger thorns in their side.
