A halt in the schedule wasn’t enough to stop the Rangers’ momentum Wednesday – not against the struggling Philadelphia Flyers, anyway – as the Blueshirts opened a three-game homestand at Madison Square Garden with a 4-1 victory. They've won fourth straight, and eight of nine.
The victory was also the sixth straight at home for the Rangers, and lifted their record to 14-4-3, while extending the Flyers’ losing streak to seven games.
But the win was not without worry for the Rangers. Versatile forward Barclay Goodrow left early after being struck in the face with a puck. His status was not immediately known.
