The last time the Rangers played the Flyers, their season was beginning to fall apart as they dropped their season-high fifth straight game in Philadelphia.
In a rematch Thursday night at Madison Square Garden, however, the Blueshirts continued to push that disastrous stretch further and further into the rearview mirror as they extended their point streak to 10 games with a 6-1 over the same Flyers team.
To say the end of 2024 and the start of 2025 have been a night-and-day difference for the Rangers would be an understatement.
Philadelphia can attest to that better than most as a team that didn’t have to exert much effort to beat the Rangers, 3-1, on Nov. 29 before struggling to impose its will on the game in any way shape or form Thursday night.
Since Jan. 2, the Rangers’ 19 points are the most in the NHL, and their 43 total goals also top the leaderboard.
With the Flyers right on their tails in the Eastern Conference wild-card race, the Rangers were able to separate themselves a bit and tie their longest point streak since Jan. 27-Feb. 24 of last year with the victory.
A couple of pretty deflection goals indicated the Rangers’ battle level in the middle of the ice, where they fought for their space and had their sticks in all the right places.
They simply owned the net front, where they consistently attacked and created traffic.
All six defensemen tallied at least a point, with K’Andre Miller leading the way with a goal and an assist.
The Flyers were getting to pucks first to start as they netted the first goal of the game less than 90 seconds in when a three-on-one rush resulted in a puck deflecting in off Owen Tippett’s skate.
From there, the Rangers hit their stride offensively.
They worked the O-zone, cycled well and repeatedly connected on passes by putting the puck exactly where they wanted.
Braden Schneider then drove to the net with the puck before banking it in off a Flyers stick to even the score.
Just 84 seconds later, Adam Edstrom got a stick on a Ryan Lindgren shot to capture the home team’s first lead of the game.
The Rangers continued to string together strong shifts in the offensive zone despite being outshot, 17-8, through the middle frame.
After effectively working the puck around for a bit, Miller wristed one home from the high slot to give the Rangers a 3-1 lead at the 4:44 mark.
It was just his third goal on the season and his first since Dec. 8.
Filip Chytil flew around all night before finally cashing in with a deflection of a Urho Vaakanainen shot at 5:15 into the third period.
A shorthanded goal later iced the game in the final frame, as Adam Fox scored an empty-netter for his third of the season.
Reilly Smith’s power-play goal at the tail end finally capped the drubbing.
