NEW YORK — – Matvei Michkov<\/a> scored his second goal of the game 2:10 into overtime and Samuel Ersson<\/a> made 23 saves as the Philadelphia Flyers<\/a> rallied to beat the New York Rangers<\/a> 3-2 on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

Michkov beat Rangers goalie Igor Shesterkin<\/a> for his 15th goal of the season after the Rangers failed to score on a power play to start the extra period.<\/p>\n

Trevor Zegras<\/a> also scored for the Flyers, who trailed 2-0 early in the second period before rallying for their second win since Jan. 23.<\/p>\n

Sam Carrick<\/a> and Alexis Lafreniere<\/a> scored for the New York, which lost their fifth straight game. Shesterkin, who suffered a lower-body injury in a home loss to Utah on Jan. 5, made 21 saves in his return. The Rangers are 6-15-5 at home this season.<\/p>\n

Carrick opened the scoring at 9:56 of the first, beating Ersson with a shot from long range for his fourth goal. Lafreniere’s 13th of the season made it 2-0 at 1:23 of the second.<\/p>\n

Michkov scored on the power play at 10:25 of the second, cutting the Flyers’ deficit to 2-1. Zegras scored 39 seconds into the third to tie the game at 2.<\/p>\n

Defenseman Adam Fox<\/a> returned to the lineup for the Rangers.<\/p>\n

New York traded top scorer Artemi Panarin<\/a> to the Los Angeles Kings<\/a> on Feb. 4 and additional trades could come ahead of the March 6 trade deadline. The Rangers are 2-11-2 since winning the Winter Classic on Jan. 2 in Miami.<\/p>\n

The Flyers, who lost 3-1 at Washington on Wednesday, have also tumbled in the standings. Philadelphia is 4-9-4 since Jan. 6.<\/p>\n

Before the game, the Rangers honored Olympic gold medal-winning players J.T. Miller<\/a> and Vincent Trocheck<\/a>, along with coach Mike Sullivan, assistant coach David Quinn and general manager Chris Drury, the assistant GM of the U.S. Olympic team in Milan.<\/p>\n

Drury was loudly booed by the Madison Square Garden crowd.<\/p>\n
