Chytil was one of six Rangers to score as the Blueshirts went on a goal run after Philadelphia scored first early in the first period and blew out the Flyers, 6-1, to extend their point streak to 10 games (7-0-3). They pulled within a point of the last wild-card spot.

Owen Tippett scored the opening goal of the game for the Flyers. With the loss, the Orange and Black’s three-game winning streak also comes to an end.

Defenseman K’Andre Miller had a goal and an assist and Igor Shesterkin made 35 saves as the surging New York Rangers routed the Philadelphia Flyers 6-1 on Thursday night. Braden Schneider, Adam Edstrom, Filip Chytil, Adam Fox and Reilly Smith also scored for the Rangers, who are 8-1-3 since Jan. 2. New York won only three times in December.

The last time the Rangers played the Flyers, their season was starting to fall apart. Now things couldn’t be going better for the Blueshirts.

Dominant over last seven games

Igor Shesterkin made 35 saves and six different players scored for the surging New York Rangers, who erased an early deficit and pulled away for a 6-1 victory over the visiting Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday night.
