Welcome back to weeknight hockey! The Flyers met the Rangers for the first time since the preseason, and things went just about as expected. They fended off one desperate team on Saturday, but couldn’t seem to repeat that effort.
Starting things off for the Flyers was the Valterri Filppula line, who promptly sent the puck into the Rangers’ zone, but couldn’t stop them from collecting it, and off they went through the neutral zone again to fend off the rush into their own zone. After a bit of back and forth, the Flyers worked to get something going.
