PHILADELPHIA — With seven rookies in their lineup, the Flyers came out with youthful energy on Wednesday night at the Wells Fargo Center, but that only carried them so far before the New York Rangers’ seasoned, skilled roster wore them down in a 4-0 loss.
Alexandar Georgiev made 28 saves to post the shutout for the Rangers.
Reenergized by the excitement of three call-ups, two season debuts and a home debut, the Flyers dominated the much more successful and experienced Rangers through the first 10 minutes. But the Rangers were the first to score when Kaapo Kakko capitalized on a Flyers defensive breakdown.
