Can the New York Rangers Extend Their Winning Streak at Wells Fargo Center?

As the New York Rangers prepare to face off against the Philadelphia Flyers at Wells Fargo Center, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their impressive performance. The Rangers have been on a winning streak, showcasing strong defensive play and goaltending that has left opponents struggling to find the back of the net.

In their recent victory over the Calgary Flames, the Rangers demonstrated a solid defense with 27 hits and 15 blocked shots while maintaining discipline with only five penalties. Their offense was equally effective, managing two goals from 31 shots and securing a win despite not capitalizing on powerplay opportunities. This balance of aggression and control has been a hallmark of their recent games.


The trend continued in an intense matchup against the Chicago Blackhawks where they emerged victorious in overtime. The Rangers' offense came alive with four goals from 35 shots, reflecting an impressive shooting percentage of eleven percent. Despite facing more penalties than usual in this game, they managed to keep Chicago's powerplay unit at bay.

Against Tampa Bay Lightning, once again it was defense that shone through for New York as they limited Tampa Bay to just one goal while scoring three themselves. The goaltending remained steadfast with a save percentage holding firm at one hundred percent across these games.


As we look ahead to their next game against Philadelphia Flyers, it's clear that maintaining this level of goaltending excellence and defensive fortitude will be key for another win on enemy ice. However, fans should also watch for whether the Rangers can improve upon their powerplay performance which has been lackluster despite numerous opportunities.

The upcoming game is scheduled for February 24th at 8:00 PM GMT (3:00 PM EST) at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. Fans can catch all the action live on ABC or stream it via ESPN+.
