The Philadelphia Flyers visit the New York Rangers after the Flyers knocked off the Detroit Red Wings 2-1 in overtime.
Facing off for the third and final time this season, the Red Wings (21-21-4; 46 points) and Flyers (21-20-6; 48 points) will drop the puck at 7 p.m., with broadcast coverage on FanDuel Sports Network Detroit and the Red Wings Radio Network (97.1 The Ticket in Detroit).
Konecny is the Flyers’ most dangerous and consistent offensive player and his intense disposition and passion have been impossible to miss.
BOTTOM LINE: The Philadelphia Flyers and the Detroit Red Wings square off in Eastern Conference action. Philadelphia has a 10-11-1 record at home and a 21-20-6 record overall. The Flyers have a 5-9-1 record in games they have more penalties than their opponent.
The Philadelphia Flyers will play the Detroit Red Wings tonight. A win in regulation would put the Flyers four points ahead of Detroit in the wild-card standings. However, if the Red Wings win in regulation, they will have the same number of points as the Flyers. Thus, this is a significant game for the Flyers.
It’s Sunday morning and the Detroit Red Wings are in a better position today than they were on Christmas Day. But they are worse off than they were Saturday morning. That’s the Red Wings new reality as they attempt to climb in the Eastern Conference playoff race.
