Rangers vs Flyers Prediction
The Rangers are coming into this game playing very well in their recent games. They have won their last 3 straight games with all of those wins coming by 2 or more goals. Their goalie Shesterkin has been playing very well as he has only allowed 2 goals in their last 3 games. They are coming into this game off of a back-to-back against the Hurricanes which will be a tough game for them to play but they are going up against a Flyers team that is also on a back-to-back and has been playing very poorly in their recent games. The Flyers have lost 2 of their last 3 games and they have even lost their last 3 straight at home. They have already been eliminated from playoff contention in the midst of an awful season while the Rangers are a playoff team and currently challenging the Hurricanes for 1st place in the division. The Rangers are in much better form right now and they will win this game by 2 or more goals as they stay hot here.

Notable Quotes
“We have a long ways to go, but we will enjoy it tonight, for sure. The building was unreal tonight, the energy in the building. It's just a good feeling. We’ve come a long way as a group. This was a good job from the top down. Now the fun stuff starts." - Ryan Strome after their win against the Senators on Saturday night.
“We came out with the right mindset. Obviously, got off to a hot start and probably just assuming that maybe we thought it was gonna be a point night and wanted it easy in the second period. We stopped being physical. Execution was a big problem, through the neutral zone especially. And I thought just 1-on-1 battles and the hardness of our game was lacking, and we let them take the momentum and run with it.” - Mike Yeo after his team’s loss against the Ducks on Saturday night.
