Perreault, Kartye and Dorofeyev Lift Rangers Past Flyers 3-2

The shot clock called this one even. The chances did not. New York got the better looks all night, and only some posts kept the 3-2 final that close.

Shot attempts were split almost down the middle, but the Rangers' chances were worth far more. Expected goals, a measure of how many goals a team's chances usually produce, had New York at 3.68 against 2.57 for Philadelphia.

The Rangers spread the scoring around: Gabe Perreault, Tye Kartye and Pavel Dorofeyev each scored once, and the power play went 1-for-2. Adam Fox set up two goals in 25:28 of ice time. J.T. Miller put 3 shots on goal, earned an assist and hit a post. Dorofeyev also hit iron, so the margin could have been wider.

Dylan Garand made 23 saves on 25 shots to see it through. The 8-7-1 Rangers are now 7-2-0 at home. The 4-9-4 Flyers lost again despite Noel Acciari's goal.
