Rangers vs. Flyers: Prediction, odds, stats, injuries, how to watch

[ASFN Admin]

The New York Rangers are clinging to their playoffs hopes with five games remaining and host the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday.

New York has lost two straight games and is 3-6-1 in its last 10 games. The Rangers may need to run the table to have a shot at the postseason. New York is eight points behind the Montreal Canadiens for the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.

Philadelphia is playing in its fifth game since firing coach John Tortorella.

Prediction: Rangers 4, Flyers 2​

It won’t make much of a difference in a playoff race that the Blueshirts have all but officially been eliminated from, but here’s a hunch that they’ll keep their slim hopes alive with a win. There should be a little extra buzz surrounding the game as Sam Rosen wraps up his retirement tour by reuniting with longtime partner John Davidson for the TNT broadcast.
