New York Rangers vs Philadelphia Flyers

Sunday, 12:30 p.m.

Madison Square Garden

Rangers Record: 31-25-4

Flyers Record: 38-15-5

Today, Feb. 20, the Rangers return home to take on the Flyers. The Rangers, 2-1 over their last 3, look to avenge their most recent loss, Friday night against the Devils. Though New York fought hard and played an extremely strong game, the team was ultimately unable to overcome its one mistake, and suffered a 1-0 loss. The Flyers are coming off a Friday-night loss as well, as they surrendered a late lead to the Hurricanes for a 3-2 loss. Both teams will be looking to redeem themselves this afternoon.

For the Rangers, both Brandon Dubinsky and Marian Gaborik had four-game points streaks snapped on Friday night. The Flyers’ Daniel Briere has scored four points over his last two games. Rangers’ goalie Henrik Lundqvist has been exceptionally sharp lately, especially against the Devils on Friday. It is up to him to lead this team back on to the winning track.

On Friday, the Flyers were without captain Brad Richards, who was suffering from the flu. He should be available to play today. The Rangers continue to be without forward and captain Chris Drury and forward Ruslan Fedotenko. >

This is the fourth meeting of the season between the Rangers and the Flyers. Philadelphia has won all three of the previous matches, and all in convincing fashion. It  will be exciting to see if the Rangers can turn it around and take advantage of their own recent good play, and pull out a win against the Eastern-Conference leaders.
