What a difference a day makes, just one day after a miserable 4-1 loss on Tuesday to Buffalo the Rangers hit the comeback trail and defeated division rival Philadelphia Flyers 5-2.
Bolstered by a 30 save performance by Henrik Lundqvist the Rangers were able to hold off a desperate Flyers team. Kevin Hayes and Michael Grabner led the scoring with 2 goals each with Chris Kreider adding a goal to open the second period.
All in all a strong Rangers team effort and response to the loss the previous night showing what the team is made of.
The Rangers have now won their last 5 consecutive games vs Philadelphia.
Rangers return to action on Sturday to take on the Blue Jackets in Columbus.
