On Wednesday, the Philadelphia Flyers will collide with the New York Rangers on the road as the team looks to bounce back from a 3-2 loss at the hands of the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday.
Since the team parted ways with coach John Tortorella on March 27, the Flyers have posted a 3-1 record, defeating the Montreal Canadiens, Buffalo Sabres and Nashville Predators while falling to the Habs.
Currently, the team is sitting in last place in the Metropolitan Division, five points behind the Pittsburgh Penguins.
While their hopes of clinching a spot in the postseason are nonexistent, and they've been mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, they'll have a chance to play spoiler to the Rangers, who still have a slight chance, albeit a small one, to clinch a Wild Card spot in the East.
