New York Rangers News & Notes:

The Rangers lost 6-3 on Saturday to the New Jersey Devils. In their previous five games, the Rangers have a 2-1-2 record, scoring 3.6 goals per game while allowing 3.6. The Rangers have a 2-0-1 record against the Flyers this season.

Philadelphia Flyers News & Notes:

The Flyers beat the Penguins on Saturday, 4-3 in a shootout. In their last five games, the Flyers have a 4-1-0 record, scoring 2.6 goals per game while conceding 2.2. They are seven points back from the final Eastern Conference Wild Card spot with a game in hand on Boston. They would still need to leapfrog Ottawa and Columbus for this spot. Capturing eight of the last ten possible points has helped, and the Flyers have been playing well since the return from the Olympic break. Can they make a run to the last Wild Card spot?
