After their 3-0 blanking of the Flyers yesterday afternoon, the Rangers are back home hosting those same Flyers on the back-end of a home-and-home. It’s been a while since the Rangers have played a home-and-home on back-to-back nights (usually there’s a day off between), and the Rangers could really help themselves out with another win over a division opponent.

The Flyers play a 2-1-2 forecheck, and once they get a late lead, they switch to a more conservative 1-1-3 left wing lock. In their own zone, the Flyers play a mix of zone and man-on-man defense, depending on puck location.On special teams, the Flyers run a 1-3-1 and an umbrella power play and a diamond force penalty kill with the strong side forward looking to pressure the point.

Rangers lineup:

Rick Nash-Derick Brassard-Martin St. Louis
Lee Stempniak-Derek Stepan-Mats Zuccarello
Carl Hagelin-Kevin Hayes-Anthony Duclair
J.T. Miller-Dominic Moore-Jesper Fast

Ryan McDonagh-Dan Girardi
Marc Staal-John Moore
Matt Hunwick-Kevin Klein

Henrik Lundqvist gets the start.

Scratches/Injuries: Tanner Glass (mumps), Chris Kreider (personal), Dan Boyle (flu)
