Rangers lineup tonight: New York’s projected lineup for game against the Philadelphia Flyers | April 9, 2025

Tonight, the New York Rangers will wrap up their two-game home stretch when they host the Philadelphia Flyers. In their most recent outing, the Rangers came up short against the Tampa Bay Lightning. It marked their second straight loss after a 4-0 shutout loss at the hands of the New Jersey Devils over the weekend.

While at one point, the team was one of the best in the Metropolitan Division, the Rangers have since taken their fans on a rollercoaster ride this season. That has seen them fall to the bottom of the divisional standings, and then bounce back as they look to clinch a spot in the postseason.

Currently, the team is ranked fourth in the Metropolitan Division's standings alongside the New York Islanders. Despite that, the team still has a chance to punch their ticket to the postseason via the Eastern Conference Wild Card race.

Back in late November, the two sides collided in Philly, with the Flyers picking up a 3-1 win. At the time, the loss extended New York's skid to five games, however, the team was able to bounce back when the two sides faced off in January. They evened up the regular-season series with a 6-1 win.
