After an impressive performance last night against the Devils, the Rangers are in Philly to take on a Flyers team that, like the Devils, isn’t expected to make much noise this year. They are certainly more talented, but they are weak on the blue line and have minimal forward depth.
Today’s contest will feature a 3-on-3 overtime period, regardless of the score of the game.
What have they done lately?
The Flyers are not expected to be a playoff team this year. However, they have Claude Giroux and Jakub Voracek, so they are capable of beating any team on any given night. They aren’t as bad as the Devils.
